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

I grew up in a very Catholic family. Up until puberty, I would go to a Catholic church every week.

The audience seems hazy to me, shrouded in a veil through which I can't see.

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.

If your work requires you to travel, you will understand that there's no vacation destination like home.

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

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