I don't think it's the job of filmmakers to give anybody answers. I do think, though, that a good film makes you ask questions of yourself as you leave the theatre.

A movie is like a tip of an iceberg, in a way, because so little of what you do in connection with making a movie actually gets into the movie. Almost everything gets left behind.

I think the way you make a movie dictates the movie that you make.

I think film should raise questions, not give answers. I think film should challenge people to reflect, debate and get by themselves to the answer that fits them.

You don't make a film because the audience is ready for it. You make a film because you have questions that are in your gut.

I think that people should really understand what it takes to make a film.

I think making a movie is like drawing or creating an art piece. The artwork reflects part of your personality, but not all.

It's a good question, because a movie isn't good or bad based on its politics. It's usually good or bad for other reasons, though you might agree or disagree with its politics.

With movies, you get to be in a bubble while you're creating it, and it's not until it comes out that you see whether people like it or not.
