Where I come from, it was a heresy to say you wanted to be in movies, leave alone American movies.

I am not going to do a film based on a bad scenario just to make a big Hollywood film or work with Hollywood stars.

Hollywood have been in touch; they want to make a movie of my life.

I don't really want to do the Hollywood thing. I think you ought to try to say something with your movies.

When it comes to turning out movies, I'm for Hollywood.

I don't think Hollywood was trying to do anything with me. In fact, they lost interest pretty quick. I think I got lucky, briefly, in the '90s, and it just so happened that those movies were the opportunities that came my way. Then it just kind of stopped.

When I say that I am going to do an American film, I didn't want to suddenly go off into a completely different world that which bears no relation to the style of filmmaking that I'm used to.

I still don't consider myself as going Hollywood. I did a movie because the opportunity presented itself and it was fun. When everything stops being fun, I'll go onto something else.

I don't champion the idea of being in a Hollywood movie. I never had fun in one of them.

I just needed to leave Hollywood.
