I'm a student of cinema in general, not just of one particular genre. So it was very important to me and to my soul to go out and do something different.

When it's good, cinema can be one of the most important things in a person's life. A film can be a catalyst for change. You witness this and it is an incredibly spiritual experience that I'd never lived before; well, maybe only in a football match.
I was raised in a family where cinema was a way of life. It was not only about making films, it was relationship, passion, love, everything at the same time.
I truly believe in cinema's potential for cultural impact. I have a clear idea what I want to do - to enrich people's lives.
I do a film if it interests me, has a connect with the audience and some entertainment value. The rest doesn't matter.
Music is one of the important things for me in cinema.
The cinema should be human and be part of people's lives; it should focus on ordinary existences in sometimes extraordinary situations and places. That is what really motivates me.
The most important thing when you do a movie is that you find an audience that really understands what you want to do and is really supportive of it.
When I make a film, I am hoping to reinvent the genre a little bit. I just do it my way. I make my own little Quentin versions of them... I consider myself a student of cinema. It's almost like I am going for my professorship in cinema, and the day I die is the day I graduate. It is a lifelong study.
Films are a whole new world that I'm excited to explore. But being on stage is very close to my heart; it has given me a sense of belonging. I will always try to find a way to balance both.
I used to say that theatre was my favourite thing. But the more I do film, the more I appreciate it.
