Creativity is very self-indulgent.

The conversations about a film are an example of success because then you know whatever you've done has resonated.

I think when you make a movie, one of your main focuses as a director is to inspire everyone else to give their best. Like manipulation.

I believe shooting chronologically gives you a very fresh perspective and you're always aware of where you are in the development of the characters.

Nowadays, teenagers are so fast and quick to see through any form of manipulation. Sitting down and just thinking of something is like watching really bad pornography.

The artificial world that we create through images will essentially become real.

We live in a beauty-obsessed culture, which on one hand is absolutely fabulous, but on the flip side, is also dangerously extreme.
