So, not for lack of love of language, but because I feel our language is in an enormous state of humiliation, I decided to make films without words.

There are times in life when language fails us, when everything that needs to be said can be expressed only by saying nothing at all.

I hate violence, and I didn't plan to write horror; it just poured out of me.

I never felt any attraction towards violence. I never tried to express myself through violence. Violence is a language.

I think I developed language skills to deal with threat. It's the girl thing to do-you know, instead of pulling out a gun.

There is a lot of silence in me, and I feel that silence is often better than spoken words.

Language can only deal meaningfully with a special, restricted segment of reality. The rest, and it is presumably the much larger part, is silence.
