Irreverence is an essential part of our culture.

I like to make films about people who changed the lives of others and asserted human dignity.

If someone does something in an entertainment/pop ambience, that person becomes someone who has an impact on the conduct and attitude of a huge number of people who peripherally come in contact with them.
