For me, it's better to live without looking over your shoulder, worrying about who is controlling your phone, maybe poisoning your food.

It feels very, very good to make a film freely, to work without having to wait years for script approval, without looking over your shoulder.

When you want to make a film abroad, you need producers and people who support you. You need a team that speaks your language.

I can travel with music. I close my eyes, and I can travel all over the world with music. And one after another, stories come to me, and I just record them.

I went to underground music studios. In the studios, I learned that you can make a movie without a permit.

I'm very much interested in music specifically and wanted to make a film about it, but not in an atmosphere of censorship.
