Movies are an art form that is very available to the masses.

What I am really curious about is the visuals of cinema... the form.

Movies were never an art form, they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there, and it's still evolving in different ways.

Cinema is a world of imagination.

Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon.

To me, cinema is not a movie or a TV screen, and it's not a seat in a building versus one in your living room. It's the art of motion pictures.

Cinema is a territory. It exists outside of movies. It's a place I live in. It's a way of seeing things, of experiencing life. But making films, that's supposed to be a profession.

I began to see cinema as the perfect combination of so many wonderful art forms - painting, photography, music, dance, theater.

The cinema occupies an important place in the overall development of art and literature.

Cinema is an art form that is designed to go across borders. And as a filmmaker, the only way I can direct a movie is when I feel close to my culture.
