Me and nature are two.

I'm a teleological, existential agnostic.

Human existence is a brutal experience to me... it's a brutal, meaningless experience - an agonizing, meaningless experience with some oases, delight, some charm and peace, but these are just small oases. Overall, it is a brutal, terrible experience, and so it salvation is what can you do to alleviate the agony of the human condition, the human predicament? That is what interests me the most.

Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.

The dictatorship is shut up, democracy is always concerned.

Life is a concentration camp. You're stuck here and there's no way out and you can only rage impotently against your persecutors.

I'd like to make a great movie. I've made many movies. I think I've made some good movies, but I never felt I've made a great movie.
