Movies are extremely imitative of one another. Whatever works, people will try to do it.

I have always believed that directing a film is like telling a story. You have to tell it well so that it is appreciated.

Film is a dramatised reality and it is the director's job to make it appear real... an audience should not be conscious of technique.

I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema.

As filmmakers, we're constantly always looking for something to bring the audience deeper into the reality of the story we're telling.

It's not a film-maker's job to explain his technique, but to tell his story the best way he can.

If you stay true to your ideas, film-making becomes an inside-out, honest kind of process.

Well, every movie is an experiment. And the only way you can grow at what you're doing is to take chances. You can't try to stick with what worked last time.

The audience has to understand that if the film is going to have any meaning for them. If they are going to empathize with the characters, they have to visualize the process of concentration involved in making every move.

When you make a film you usually make a film about an idea.
