I study history in order to give an interpretation.

Now, we live in an age where we have so much information that we do tend to overload. The Greeks did too, though.

I do believe that movies are subject to a million interpretations.

We could learn a lot from the ancients, and we should go back there.

By creating false environment of a war on drugs, and cruel and unusual punishment with these crimes, 50% of our U.S. population is in jail without having hurt anybody, mostly for drugs.

You always try to find the right style for the movie. That's the key.

I'm interested, I suppose, in tortured power.
