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

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

If I want to relax and not do anything, I don't want to leave home.

I'd like to do a really masculine film.

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

In our lives, we have good things and bad things, happiness and pain.
