I like films to have something inside, I don't mean a message, I mean something from the soul.

All my films have some kind of statement about something - but I have to coat it with entertainment to make it palatable. Otherwise it becomes a polemic, and people don't want to see it. If you're trying to get a message out to people, you've got to entertain them at the same time.

I do not make movies to send any message, but my treatment makes my viewers think on the subject.

I want to make films without a single clear message, and films that are as close as possible to what it feels like to be alive. At least to me.

Films with a message just make me laugh.

I try not to look for messages in films.

I don't think good films have messages.

You can't be trying to make a film that pleases all people, you know, so it's not a concern of mine.

Film is the medium for communicating not just ideas, but things of the heart.
