The problem with movies is you are over-rewarded for the work you do. It's hard to give up, and I got used to a certain lifestyle.

When I go into making a movie, personally, I don't try to bring other pieces of movies with me.

I don't like films giving me answers. I like films that are provoking me, that are making me feel not only being in an easy place.

I always feel like I can't do it, that I can't go through with a movie. But then I do go through with it after all.

I don't like doing movies that are meaningless or unrealistic. I like things with a lot of reality to them. I'm a pretty serious kind of person myself. Things affect me.

I get emotionally attached with every film I do, and that stops me from being critical. I can't fight my emotions.

I like movies. Movies have afforded me a modicum of luxuries. The thing about the movies is, if you're bad in a movie, you're bad forever.

Listen, I think movies serve many different purposes, from those movies that are frivolous and just an entertainment, to movies that just go to exploring the complexities of the human soul. Everything is valid if it's done with honesty and dignity, and I actually do both of those types of movies in my career.

When I go to a film, you're taking it easy and you let things wash over you. That's what cinema's all about. You get involved in a world that's being created in front of you.

Doing a movie is a stressful thing. You spend months of you life focusing into that one project, and I want to make sure I do something I really like or I'm really passionate about.
