It’s always more intriguing to imagine what’s happening, as opposed to seeing everything, because then you can use your imagination. I always wanted to be at a distance.

My movies are not about being, but becoming.

I try to always be open to what the actors want to try. I don't storyboard and try to be intuitive and open on the day of filming.

My parents were always encouraging of us being creative however we wanted to be. People say, "You didn't get pressured into having to be a director?" But it's hard to be around my dad and not be curious about filmmaking, because he thinks it's the ultimate medium.

I always remember my dad saying, "No one makes a remake unless they are trying to make money; there is no reason for it." It was not an honorable thing to do.

You're considered superficial and silly if you are interested in fashion....But I think you can be substantial and still be interested in frivolity.

Forget the audience, make what you want to see
