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

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

But I won't work with the exact same crew film after film because I feel the work would get a little complacent.

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

If a film is very clever and well-written, that's what gives you freedom as a director. Part of the freedom in directing, for me, is that I'm also the camera operator. That's the place where things are less rigid, where I can adjust as I go along.

I see people growing more and more isolated in their lives. It's not like it's a new thing, but it's more preoccupying now as you can do so many things without leaving your home. You can work, shop, do everything from home, and I find this unsettling.

Love stories that are too simple don't deserve to have films made about them.
