Sometimes it only takes three words, so long as they're the right words, to direct an actor in the right way.

I would rather my films be well-known than I be well-known.

When I was young, my idea was to become a filmmaker.

What I expect of a movie reviewer is that he should love cinema as much as I do.

I like films that are well-written and concise and with not a lot of room for improvisation.

You may think it's very presumptuous, but I really hope that my movies are going to turn people into better people.

I'm not one to dwell on rehearsal or preparation.
