I guess I probably make violent films partly because I can't express my anger in my real life very well.

Lots of people think the violence in the films I make is overwhelming, but they think they're seeing something that they aren't seeing.

I became a film director, but I wasn't successful with my first couple of films, so I had to turn to becoming a film critic to make a living.

When it comes to remaking my own films in the English language, I can only imagine that it is a very boring process, I wouldn't ever dream of it.

I do like musical films more than big Hollywood films, especially those by Jacques Demi and Vincent Minelli.

All of the characters in my films, they share one commonality. It doesn't matter whether they are good or bad, it doesn't matter whether they are smart or stupid, these characters all take responsibility for their own behavior. I'm much the same.
