I like movies that leave you with something to think about, to discuss, to debate, you know?

The best films of any kind, narrative or documentary, provoke questions.

I think if you make a good movie, people walk away arguing.

Some of my favorite movies are action movies. You want something good to say. That comes from good writing. But writing is not a skill I possess, unfortunately.

For me, the filmmaking has to be about the dramaturgy.

I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.

I don't see that many movies lately that are actually about something, that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.

For me, the most absorbing films are those that address big questions and real ideas but embody them in small examples that we can appreciate and comprehend.

Movies are as old as psychoanalysis. So if I were to put you or anyone else on a couch and say, 'Tell me your favorite movies,' it would be a way of psychoanalyzing you.

If I have a better idea, I say, 'Can we try one like this?' I try not to step on writers' toes, but ninety-nine percent of the time, it ends up in the movie, and sometimes it's the line that everyone remembers and quotes from the movie.
