I wanted to keep exploring... I'm not about to choose a series of movies in which I can use the same bag of tricks and style that I used in the first film.

Politicizing of kids starts with pregnancy, of course. You shouldn't be drinking wine. You can't be smoking, either. The poor woman is poked and prodded and touched and obsessed over.

I've directed bits of action and so I know that it's long and it's very detailed. Editing action is a good deal more exciting than shooting action. Shooting action is very, very meticulous, it's increments, tiny little pieces.

As a first-time director in America, I feel I've been very fortunate.

I feel like the American years were my apprenticeship for doing a Bond movie.

I want to try and work in different genres with different types of actors, on small movies and big movies.

For me, certain shots or scenes are keys in the movie.
