I want to explore new ideas and put myself in a place where I can finish a project that is more unusual or that doesn't seem doable.

The beauty of doing film is that you construct whatever you do block by block and you can build something that will stay.

I don't call cut between the takes - it's my way to help the actor keep focused. As soon as you say 'cut' you have 10 people jumping on them and everybody's trying to do a great job, and they do, but sometimes they forget that the more important thing is the performance, creating the performance.

I think always my interest in making movies is to have something really technical mixed with something that was not so formal...something free.

In my opinion, it's more interesting to see magic happening in a world that feels grounded. If the world is already crazy, then anything can happen. So it's better to start with something real.

My goal was to show that even if people work in a garage or a supermarket, they have very funny things to say. We never hear their voices.

I like actors who just are who they are, with a little bit of qualification to adapt to their character. But mostly they just use their own personality to embody the character.
