My films, no one else will do.
I always like to reveal the fact that the emperor has no clothes. And children are best at that. They teach us how to see the world in that sense. They are without artifice; they see it for what it is. I am drawn to that ruthless honesty.
If we don't tell our own stories, no one else will.
It's only at this age that I can say the word 'art' without flinching.
In our house we say 'adolescence' is a western word. We don't believe in it.
I am an independent film-maker first and foremost. I have always cut my own cloth.
