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

In my opinion, all relationships between people have some sort of violence, and it is central.

Sometimes you need these warm, human moments - something that feels close - to help things along.

Actors are professionals who deal with people's emotions and their thoughts. So, working with this very intelligent, smart cast meant that sometimes I would only have to start speaking a word and these wonderful actors would immediately catch onto what I wanted them to portray, and how I wanted them to act.

As I grow older I spend more time with my wife, and gradually my interest in the woman's world is growing.

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 feel myself becoming more mature and more fascinated and drawn to feminine values.
