Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness.

I make movies for my needs. My goal has never, never, never been to make shocking movie.

When I'm writing, I don't put faces on the characters. When I finish the first draft of the script, I start visualizing, and sometimes then I think about one actor.

I also wanted to express the strength of cinema to hide reality, while being entertaining. Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness.

There is a mysterious stillness and intimacy of a woman doing her hair and make-up which attracts me.

My mother was an extremely creative woman, despite the fact that she lived the life of a rural housewife.

Once we actually have the production script after many rewrites, at that point is when I start to decide what the look and colors will be. I work like a painter, even though I'm working in three dimensions. I'm working with chairs. I'm working with walls. But even things like the floor or the walls that people might think are not important, they actually do influence the visual look of the film. These are also things that I have to think about.
