I never storyboard. I hate it. I don't understand why so many directors want to make comic strips of their films.

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

What stirs my passion is making cinema, and that means doing different things, making different types of films.

Working with a bunch of actors is like trying to tune each violin.

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

Married people from my generation are like an endangered species!

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.
