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

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 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?

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.
