I've always felt that I've made films, period. I wanted to leave the "ghetto." And here I am, I'm out.

I'm at peace with myself. My film just may please audiences. At any rate, it's already a great prize to be part of just 16 films among all of the world cinema out there. I'm tranquil and satisfied.

I think that stereoscopic 3D will have to continue to develop. It's still quite archaic because of the glasses you have to wear.

I do my films the best as I can, period. I always hope that, gradually, my honest work will reach Americans.

My inspiration is my life, what I see happening around me. It can be history and, quite often, plain traditional fairy tales. But I never adapt; I nourish myself with old stories, and then create my own tales.

I like to make people happy, and with fairy tales, I can say anything I want to, but in an agreeable way.

Before my commercial success, I had difficulty doing what I wanted, but my sincere short films always won prizes in festivals. So I was ready for larger successes.
