I think I went into poli-sci because I knew there was a stage, plus I thought I wanted to help people, and I realized in poli-sci that if you want to be a politician you're either born into it, or you've got an amazing brain, which those are rare - and I don't have one.

I'm only sort of a politician.

I'm not a politician; I'm lucky to be a filmmaker and to be able to express myself through the films I make.

I am an artist and a political being as well.

Sometimes, I feel the reason I have become a star beyond my films is that I am politically incorrect.
