I want people to leave the cinema feeling that something's been confirmed for them about life.

I don't want to make pompous, serious films; I like films that have a kind of vivacity about them.

I don't want people to sit there and objectively watch the film. I want them to experience it as something that's under their skin, so you try to make the films really tactile.

I like films that have a kind of vivacity about them.

You can't tell someone they are wrong about their own life.

I've never done a film before where every single person in the audience knows the ending. I mean suspense, twists are almost impossible these days. People are blogging your endings from their cinema seats.
