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.

A film set is a workplace for me; it's my office, and nobody really wants to be in a stressful work environment.

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 am sure I am one of 2,000 film directors in the world that Tarantino admires.

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 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?
