I want my film to be possible to use as a reference when we are trying to live our lives.

I don't like that we repeat a certain expression over and over again because I think it narrows the way that we look on the world. I also think that there is a certain responsibility if you work with moving images because it's so strong in creating behaviour; it's so strong in creating the way that we look on the world, so for me it's very important that I create images that I have an experience of or is something that I think exists in the world and not just in cinema.

Actually men are closer to having the ability to act egoistic when it comes to a crisis situation.

Just look at the history of cinema. The most reproduced male character is probably the hero and the most reproduced female character is probably the sex object. I think those stereotypes have been reproduced over and over again. It also changes our expectations when it comes to a situation like this in real life.

I was very interested in highlighting group behaviour and I wanted to show that I think this is very fundamental about being a human being... that we are herd animals actually. So, I was looking for different situations that take place in different kinds of groups.

I think the actors take a great responsibility for the characters in the movie.

Why I'm interested in filmmaking is because a moving image is very, very powerful when it comes to changing human behavior.
