I've never made films for children. That's why children like my films. Nobody wants to be treated as a baby.

Digital is expensive, from the computers to the professional software to the technicians, but digital helps me to create more beautiful images in less time.

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

My producers give me total freedom. No one asks me for anything; they just tell me to make a good film, and that's what I do.

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.
