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!

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

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

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. I like to just go out and do it. Of course, that doesn't mean actors are free to do whatever they like, they're always being directed.

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