The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.

We have to make some movies we have passion for, respect for.

I prefer to make a film that people have a really intense reaction to than have a film that people feel ambivalent about.

I'd rather make an interesting film that gets people talking, that maybe some people hate, than make the kind of 'entertaining' film that everyone feels ambivalent about.

I like making movies that people feel inspired by, a film that they will think about a few days after seeing it, and not entertainment that is completely forgettable the moment you walk out of the theater.

I have so much appreciation for movies because I understand how hard it is to make one.

The motivation for making movies is that people actually see them.

When you're so passionate about cinema, the idea to direct your own film is really appealing.

I wanted to make people feel the same way I feel when I see a good movie.

I never wanted to make movies just for me. I want to make movies that people watch.
