I consider myself more a craftsman than an artist.

To the audience it doesn't really matter how much the director struggled with an actor. It's the result that counts.

If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.

You have to show violence the way it is. If you don't show it realistically, then that's immoral and harmful. If you don't upset people, then that's obscenity.

Cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theater.

The best films are because of nobody but the director.

With each film, i need an artistic challenge so I don't get bored! I like to tackle challenges.
