There's a humble beauty about listening to period instruments that I like.

I am sure I am one of 2000 film directors in the world that Tarantino admires.

I actually pay careful attention to that sort of thing - infusing humor into my films - because that's how important I think humor is.

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

A film set is a workplace for me; it's my office, and nobody really wants to be in a stressful work environment.

Certainly, it includes that. I want the story to be interpreted in as many ways as possible, and of course, the bad blood aspect of it included. For instance, perhaps this is a story not about the hereditary nature of evil, but rather you could interpret it from a different perspective, too.

I have always meticulously storyboarded my films from beginning to end.
