I don't think good films have messages.

You never want to make a 'message movie', but you always want to be talking about something that you care about.

I like films to have something inside, I don't mean a message, I mean something from the soul.

I try not to look for messages in films.

I don't want to make films that give you the answer. If there is a message to my films - and I hope there isn't - it's to be open-minded.

All my films have some kind of statement about something - but I have to coat it with entertainment to make it palatable. Otherwise it becomes a polemic, and people don't want to see it. If you're trying to get a message out to people, you've got to entertain them at the same time.

People need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.

A movie is really provocation. It's not a message, it's not a statement.

I'd like to do a film which is funny.

Film is the medium for communicating not just ideas, but things of the heart.
