I like movies that make you think.

I love talking about movies that mean something to me.

I like a movie that brings out many discussions. From my experience, every time I have done movies, they create this kind of situation. Like 'Irreversible,' 'The Passion of the Christ,' 'Malena'; it's so interesting. I like to explore the dark side of humanity. That's why I'm an actor.

The best movies have one sentence that they're exploring, a thesis, something that people can argue about over dinner afterward.

By the time the discussion starts about a movie, it's like bringing up an old boyfriend. It's like, 'I don't even remember exactly what he was like, and now we have to talk about it?'

I like an interesting movie even if it's controversial or offensive, depending on your taste.

I like movies that instill passion in the viewer. I like movies that can teach us about who we are as people.

I like movies I can relate to.

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 don't consider that I have to judge any of the movies I make all the time, but people are always asking me, 'What's your favorite movie?' And I never know what to say.
