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

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.

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

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

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

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