I'd never make a film that I am not passionate about. My whole life, I've only made the films I wanted to make, even when I had limited means.

No matter what the level of funding or success may be, there's always money missing, and you still want to have a gorgeous image, an endless cast and a flawless rendering.

Kids in different countries know my movies by heart because they've seen them so many times. And wonderful returns never stop.

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.

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

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.

Fairy tales have a hidden power, and their appeal never ends. They're the best way to get messages across.
