I've been making films with almost no dialogue (laughs), so sound and music become a very powerful character to tell the story. It's almost like with sound and music and images, it's your tool to tell the story, especially when I decide to structure the film in a way that usually goes against the conventions of the three-act structure which most films are made out of.

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.

It's the hardest thing for an actor not to speak because you take away their main tool. So for an actor, it's very frustrating and very challenging, and very few people can pull it off. Some actors can say a thousand words with just a look, and it's a unique gift.

I love rock ballads, and I'm kind of in emotional turmoil, being ill and high, so I start to sing to the song, I turn it up and start to sing.

I think that's the struggle of our normality is that we have oppressed desires because of what is accepted and not accepted in society.

I love watching the superhero movies and I would love to make one.

I can't make a film that I don't feel comfortable with.
