The problem when you edit a film together, when you shoot a film, you are drawn into the moment. You want each moment to be special and full of life.

I don't like to put people in a competition to defeat the other.

I'm attracted to working with comedians because they don't have that stars' idea of what a hero should be. The downside is they're always addressing the camera too much.

I'm always excited to work with actors.

You can't feel sorry for a scene. If the movie works without the scene, then you don't need the scene.

I shoot people in a way that makes the audience feel equal to them. And it's hard to express and it's hard to execute but I think it works on every level - the choice of the material the choice of the actor, my relationship with the actor, and so on.

The competition is not really friendly or peaceful. It leads to oppression in some ways.
