When you look at the paintings at Chauvet Cave, they're not primitive or like children's little scribbles, it bursts on the scene fully accomplished and when you look through the faces of cultural history, art history, it has never gotten any better.

Money doesn't make films. You just do it and take the initiative.

Netflix knew I was going to North Korea and Ethiopia and Iceland. They saw the film and liked it and that was that.

I wouldn't make a connection between the daily news and volcanoes.

I wouldn't like to travel at all. I've been too much around.

It seems odd, but people who see my films normally take them in in a deeper way than you would actually watch a film, let's say The Terminator or whatever.

Netflix trusted me in a way that was very, very pleasant.
