In the olden days, a couple could be in every movie together, but it's just not like that anymore.

Films have never shown the kind of relationship that can exist between two women.

I love movies, but I think people think relationships are supposed to go how they go in movies. The ones I like are the ones that represent life.

The film depends on the audience's belief in this relationship.

I feel even old people can do a nice love story, but here we don't make that kind of films. In the West, such films are being made and they make a nice romance, which is more like compassion.

Relationship movies are often made for a female audience.

I think invariably when you are dealing with relationships, the films really center on that, and the plot is really born out of that. That's the most core part of a relationship: intimacy, I think, whether it's expressed or not.

I just like that dynamic in relationships in movies where they're kind of lovers as rivals, you know?

A lot of my movies have come to be thought about only years after the fact, and I'm sad about that but also happy about it in a way, as it's given them longevity.
