The punishment itself is something I respectfully disagree with, but for thousands and thousands of years it was practiced everywhere.

I see planets that don't exist and landscapes that have only been dreamed.

I would travel down to Hell and wrestle a film away from the devil if it was necessary.

I shouldn't make movies anymore. I should go to a lunatic asylum.

THE ACT OF KILLING invents a new form of cinematic surrealism.

The volcano itself wasn't that interesting, but the man who refused to be evacuated - the only one of 75,000 people - was what set the tone for the film ["Encounters at the End of the World"] that we made together [with Clive Oppenheimer] ten years later.

There are certain ways, narrative forms, that do not function as a continuation, for example, of 3D movies. You see, what is obvious to me is virtual reality or immersive 360 degrees virtual reality is not somehow a part of 3D movies, and it is not a new form of video games, it's neither, it is something completely new, something different, and nobody has come up yet with real convincing content.
