I make films about working class people.

I like making films about different cultures. I'm interested in things that I've never encountered before. I try to put myself in the audience's position.

I make these little films. I'm just a working person. I just study people a little bit more. It's more sociological, and it's funny anyway - not that serious. It's not like false humility. I just take it for what it is.

I am profoundly fascinated by cruelty, fear, horror and death. My films show my preoccupation with violence, the pathology of violence.

Some of my films are known for the depiction of violence. I don't have anything to prove with that any more.

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 don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.

Film is our literature, so we should tell stories that are apropos of our culture, in that we can learn something about ourselves.

Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.
