I think everybody dreamt somehow to make a film in Hollywood, you know.

I think movies are good for getting into dream states or exploring weird alternate states of thinking.

The magic of movie-making is that you get to fulfill your own dreams.

I am not born to make dreamy movies.

I believe that one of the secret engines that allows cinema to work, and have the marvelous power over us that it does, is the fact that for thousands of years we have spent eight hours every night in a 'cinematic' dream-state, and so are familiar with this version of reality.

There's something very dreamlike about film, and I will always be very fascinated by that, and I'm always tempted to go in that direction.

If I dream that I'm directing, it's not a film, it's like a commercial for cotton candy, and I've got four feet of cotton candy all around me that I've got to break through, like a brick wall or a fortress.

I've been interested in dreams since I as a kid and I've wanted to do a film about them for a long time.

My dreams kind of came through when I went to see the cinema.
