I feel like a lot of funders of documentaries today want to fund films that have a social message that is going to yield results.

I have a very strong political outlook, and that is something I'd like to take more responsibility for in my life. I don't believe in utilising certain aspects of the power I have with celebrity to push that forward, but I would like to make some films that address some of those political issues.

I want to encourage the non-star, low-profile film, and maybe we've got a chance.

We don't have a lot of class-conscious filmmaking.

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

I request the audience to not mix cinema with politics.

I think there's always this idea in your head, but you have to allow the film to take its own course.

Well, the wonderful thing about making movies, oddly enough, is that they're sort of highly motivated graduate studies in one or another field.

We're under the Arts Council under the Minister for the Arts. The Minister for the Arts and the Minister for Industrial Development have great difficulty in agreeing over who should fund what in terms of film.
