I spent a couple of years doing American films. I did a few.

I have been very fortunate, working a lot in TV, and have been able to dip into the film world a little bit here and there.

I've been very lucky in my long life. On three continents, in diverse cultures, through happy moments, not-so-happy moments, and moments as marvelous as this one, I've had the privilege of working with the cinema's greatest masters.

I'd love to work in America, some of my favourite films come from America.

I must say, to my great surprise and pleasure, I deeply loved making movies in the United States because of all the opportunities it gave me to work with people that I admire as artists.

I've been blessed in my career to be able to do studio and independent films.

I've been in more than 20 movies. You just do the best you can and try to make a living.

I never expected to become a director. It never occurred to me to come to America, to Hollywood. It's all been a wonderful accident. I'm still amazed every time I finish a film.

There's an abundance of exposure when you start working in American films. Inevitably you become a brand and that has to be controlled.

I grew up right near Hollywood, and I wanted to be a filmmaker.
