I have not seen "Batman v Superman," unfortunately. It hasn't been on the plane, as I've been flying a lot.

I'm a fetishist. I make films based on what I would like to see.

I never desired to really go to Hollywood and make films, and purely because I want my entire control, which I'm used to having.

[Liv Corfixen] very much part of my life in that she's everything in my life and we found a way to use each other much more on a creative level as well. She was kind of the idea for this movie so I wanted to acknowledge that. She gave me the original idea to make the film.

My movie [The Neon Demon] is a hyper-version of the obsession with beauty. As this crazy obsession grows, longevity does not. Everything seems to become younger and younger. The girls and people around them cannibalize themselves.

Understanding one's own power is more interesting than someone being given something powerful.

When you make something that everyone likes, it's very easy to say, "Well, I'll just repeat that." Because that was easy. I have a formula. But creatively, it's not very interesting.
