I'm so reluctant to do newspaper interviews because it's so misleading how they interpret what you say.

I never liked the idea of giving interviews. One says many things, but when they are published, they become shortened, condensed. The ideas lose their meaning.

People say to me, 'You don't seem that interested in interviews.' Well, you know, I'm not, often. I'm not going to talk tactics with the press, so you are left with talking about how you are feeling; for me, it is not the most interesting thing to be doing.

Ah, I don't do interviews, really.

As a documentary filmmaker, I'm very respectful, and my interview style is not intrusive. I don't really have an agenda. I just go in there, I mumble something or other, I wait for them to speak, and I wait for them to stop.

People think I don't like interviews but I don't mind speaking about proper and interesting stuff. When it's stupid stuff to build your image and you are told to mention this and mention that, I hate it.

I'm very unrelaxed doing a newspaper interview.

When the press began asking me for interviews, I freaked out. My instinct is to hide.

It turned out I really didn't like journalism. I wanted to make up stories, not cover real events.

But unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist.
