We have to make some movies we have passion for, respect for.

I strive to make movies I would enjoy.

I guess that in this process of trying to incorporate or to be faithful to the films I admire so much, that's how I start to find my own voice. The admiration I have for filmmakers, this gratitude, perhaps that's my only way to become specific.

I wish to be appreciated not only as a film star but also for the person I am. If I manage to bring a smile on people's faces, then I think I'll be successful.

I make movies that audiences like, that I'd want to see. That's all.

As a filmmaker, you want nothing more than to have people say, 'I love your movie.'

I live in a constant state of gratitude, thankfulness, and appreciation for the second chance I was given, so anytime in any film, when that is given to someone, I always appreciate it.

Making movies is a way of understanding myself and the world.

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

I think as a filmmaker my first contribution would just be to make a good movie that people would love to see and leave the theatre charged, with a sense of excitement.
