I don't master my craft or my style enough to have any philosophy or dogma to which I feel I belong.

What motivates every other decision artistically or technically is the acting. This is what motivates everything. Never can a camera move be incompatible with the emotion of the actor at that moment. The movement, the style, the atmosphere, everything is dictated by the actor.

I'd like to do something meaningful in the smallest ways, not just words or idiotic writing.

Women have to define themselves in the eyes of men. They have to fight for their rights, especially in a society that will pretend that there is no fight or no battle, that it's a cliché, that feminists are reactionary, all these things.

I'd like to be taken in charge of as an actor, not to be abandoned with asinine dialogue and meaningless actions or stereotyped characters. I'd like to feel like I'm in a character driven story.

A movie that is unable to elicit emotion isn't a movie.

As a director you want to have actors, not only surpassing themselves, but also going somewhere, going different places.
