I believe 'love' is very nice to hear, but it's used so much that it's come to a point where it's almost meaningless.

I believe there are more films that involve love and forgiveness than violence, but they often seem fake and are almost embarrassing to watch.

I love Philip Glass' work, not only as a film composer but also as a musician. The film score work that he does always amazes and shocks me.

The point of revenge is not in the completion but in the process.

When you first hear Mozart's music, your first impression is that it's very alive, but if you peel away the layers, you can hear sorrow and sadness behind it, and that's what I try to be: multi-layered.

I cannot believe that violence depicted onscreen actually causes people to act out violently. That's oversimplifying the issue. If somebody commits a violent act after seeing violence in a movie, I think the question that needs to be asked is: would that person still have committed the act if he had not seen a violent film?
