I like to work my camera as if it were a musical instrument.

I had no plans to be a director.

The world is an infinitely fascinating, tragic and humorous place.

I made my first film on 16mm. Then I began using 35mm.Then I began working in Hollywood. And I began to really understand how films were made by professionals. I have to say I wasn't very impressed.

The function of camera movement is to assist the storytelling. That's all it is. It cannot be there just to demonstrate itself.

I would certainly say that films like Time Code and the Loss of Sexual Innocence were far more rewarding to me in terms of being able to move forward as a filmmaker.

I'm a huge fan of world cinema, because each country uses cinema in a very individual way.
