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

If I need something, I just draw it, have a few friends make it move, and it exists. I enjoy this strange power. I try to be a good sorcerer, though.

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.

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

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.
