The thing about art for me is that you can go on theorising your work forever, because it's open to interpretation.

I always come to conclusions very fast. Well, that is one way of thinking, and the other way would be that I lack the necessary perseverance to stick to one thing that really fits me. I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing.

One thing I hate in movies is when the camera starts circling around the characters. I find that totally fake.

For me comedy and violence has a lot in common. Just as you expect, comedy always lurks behind the most unexpected of circumstances.

When people tell me I'm an artist, I say, 'What?' It's impossible for me to take the idea seriously.

Sword fighting in film is not about how good the fighter is, but how good the actor receiving the blows is.
