I wanted to do different movies. I wanted to do deeper movies. More human movies based on human feelings.

The best reason to make a film is that you feel passionately about it.

I prefer to make a film that people have a really intense reaction to than have a film that people feel ambivalent about.

I wanted to make a film about my dad, a sort of love letter, and explain what I understood of his cinema, which was so utopian. I also wanted to give the sense of his cinema, because they have never been very big box-office, but they were very influential.

I wanted to do a movie about being really good at something, yet being socially awkward and not as advanced in your personal life as you are in your creative life.

Film is such a very good tool for communicating emotions, and all designers and creative people look to inspire an emotional response.

A film engages you emotionally and intellectually.

I was able to make many different kinds of movies. They enriched me on many different levels.

I came to the industry with wide eyes and an open heart thinking I was going to make a few films that really meant something that I could pour myself into.

I have a hard time articulating the emotional experience of working on a film. Even when I have meetings on films or discussing them with directors, I find that's my biggest challenge. Different words mean different things to people.
