Using film was so much easier than the digital technology of today. But digital is still at the beginning of what it can be and they'll be fixing all those problems. It's just too complicated - negatives, tinting, flashing - it's a whole new system that takes a lot of time. Of course, it's not as physical. Even the editing. You used to feed a piece of celluloid into an editor. [Digital] is not expensive and that is an advantage, but I must say that I don't love it.

There is something more to "reality" than just the tangible. There is also mood, and you cannot skip that.

Some movies are what I would call murky. Just because it's murky doesn't make it artistic. It makes it hard to see.

For me, movies should be visual. If you want dialogue, you should read a book.

I like to work with talented people, I must say that. That's my weakness. I really like to work with good directors. That doesn't mean I don't like to work with starting up young directors, that's fun also.

A good [film] director is talented, imaginative, and does his homework.

I am not against digital at all.
