My way of expression is full of complications and mystery because that's my perception of life.

A work of art doesn't exist outside the perception of the audience.

All the different nations in the world, despite their differences of appearance and religion and language and way of life, still have one thing in common, and that is what's inside of all of us. If we X-rayed the insides of different human beings, we wouldn't be able to tell from those X-rays what the person's language or background or race is.

There is violence in real life but I would never impose violence in a film just to attract the audience.

When I talk to some of the younger filmmakers, they are so worried about their films that, eventually, this state of being worried reflects itself in and helps the final work. Whereas, with projects that are meticulously planned, you look at the end result and it is full of emptiness.

A good movie is made by an initial burst of energy, the way that, when you are in school, your class exercises are always better than your final projects.
