Humour is like violence. They both come to you unexpectedly, and the more unpredictable they both are, the better it gets.
From Takeshi Kitano
One thing I hate in movies is when the camera starts circling around the characters. I find that totally fake.
Sword fighting in film is not about how good the fighter is, but how good the actor receiving the blows is.
When people tell me I'm an artist, I say, 'What?' It's impossible for me to take the idea seriously.
The thing about art for me is that you can go on theorising your work forever, because it's open to interpretation.
I paint for the sheer joy of painting. I have never sold any of my paintings. I'd rather give them to people for free.
I intentionally shoot violence to make the audience feel real pain. I have never and I will never shoot violence as if it's some kind of action video game.
I thought maybe I could become like the next Van Gogh. I bought a sunflower and painted it, and it looked like the work of a 6-year-old.
For me comedy and violence has a lot in common. Just as you expect, comedy always lurks behind the most unexpected of circumstances.
I do all these various activities like painting and writing, comedy and films probably because not that I'm good at everything but because I'm not good at any of these things.
