I also wanted to express the strength of cinema to hide reality, while being entertaining. Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness.
Everybody has something that chews them up and, for me, that thing was always loneliness. The cinema has the power to make you not feel lonely, even when you are.
My cinema is an extension of myself. A sort of life-testimony of my vital experience, with my few virtues and my numerous limitations.
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.
A message I've been telling myself: the cinema is very conservative, and unless you have a story that satisfies you, that is within the unchallenging zone, but you love it, you can't do it as cinema. Otherwise, you better go do it for television, which is more daring now.
I was raised in a family where cinema was a way of life. It was not only about making films, it was relationship, passion, love, everything at the same time.
Life is bigger than cinema. Cinema is just a part of life, so I never take success or failure seriously.
Cinema is an art form.
Cinema for me only has meaning when it has a relationship with what I see outside on the street.
The cinema should be human and be part of people's lives; it should focus on ordinary existences in sometimes extraordinary situations and places. That is what really motivates me.
