If a film is very clever and well-written, that's what gives you freedom as a director.

I like films that are well-written and concise and with not a lot of room for improvisation.

I like films to be complete in their written form.

You may think it's very presumptuous, but I really hope that my movies are going to turn people into better people.

I would rather my films be well-known than I be well-known.

Yes, I am very prolific.
