I'd love to do a sci-fi movie, a western, or an espionage thriller. But I'm not going to limit myself. If a good script comes along, I'm not going to discount it because it doesn't fit into one of these genres.

I do like musical films more than big Hollywood films, especially those by Jacques Demi and Vincent Minelli.

I've grown up watching a lot of Western genre films on TV, and America is not just a country, but it's one of the most important countries in the world, and examining the process of how this nation came to be, it's an important thing, even for outsiders.

I guess I probably make violent films partly because I can't express my anger in my real life very well.

I'm not the kind of director who aims to send a message out.

The point of revenge is not in the completion but in the process.

If you would ask me what my ideal process is, I would say, long pre-production, long production and long post-production.
