I've been lucky to have a beautiful wife and children. The idea that something so beautiful can be so horrific at the same time. Beauty is a complex thing.

Reaction is what changes your understanding of the world.

Look at the birth of anything; it's always more violent than anything you could ever imagine.

I feel Amazon is really bringing films into the future. So for me it was the best of both worlds.

I woke up one day and I realized I wasn't born beautiful, but my wife was, so I decided to make a horror film about it: what it would be like to be born beautiful.

The kind of group mentality that we had lived under since the Second World War is starting to erupt, and the craving for individualism is now much stronger. It's not as taboo anymore, as it was when I was younger.

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.
