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.

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

I did the drawing and writing - for five years. I made a lot of short films the whole while and I made a promise to myself in front of the mirror that I would stop drawing when I signed my first contract for a feature film.

Married people from my generation are like an endangered species!

I like films to be complete in their written form.

If a film is very clever and well-written, that's what gives you freedom as a director.
