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.

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

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

My movies are, more or less, very short. I'm terrified of boring an audience.

Working with the same people is so much quicker and frees up your energy for other things.

As a spectator, I have very eclectic taste, whether it's comedies or action or very small, intimate films. And I feel as a filmmaker I should be able to have that same eclectic taste.

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