As soon as anybody puts anything on film, it automatically has a point of view, and it's somebody else's point of view, and it's impossible for it to be yours.

I think the audience know which films are aimed at their pocket, and which films are aimed at their soul. There are a lot of films out there made by people who are genuinely trying to make a change.

Sometimes films ignore other points of view because it's simpler to tell the story that way, but the more genuine and sympathetic you are to different points of view and situations, the more real the story is.

We all do films believing in them completely, but sometimes, the audiences like what we like, and other times, they don't.

I've always had the perspective that roles come into my life when I need them most and sort of teach me lessons. The same can be true of films, films are released into society to aid in a lesson, inspire people, comfort people.

I think I try to look at all my films and break them down because, at the end of the day, it's about creating characters that you like.

When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.

I have personal beliefs and they are sometimes reflected in the movies I make, but I also reflect other points of view.

The cinema has done more for my spiritual life than the church. My ideas of fame, success and beauty all originate from the big screen. Whereas Christian religion is retreating everywhere and losing more and more influence; film has filled the vacuum and supports us with myths and action-controlling images.
