song mean stories
I've listened to music all my life. I've always felt that music tells more stories sometimes than films, with more possibilities. Every time you listen to them, songs bring different images and moods - depending on where you are in your life, you can listen to a song and it means something different.
strong impact film
When I went to university, I finally got exposed to European films, and they had a strong impact on me. I felt those films had a lot of things to say that weren't getting expressed in the films I was used to seeing.
believe people knows
All people know that they will die, but they don't actually believe it.
men parent weakness
I just wanted to show the migrants as complex humans with flaws and weakness, with good and bad things, and show that they're parents and family men. I wanted to show them with everything, as they are.
thinking ego actors
I always think politicians and even my dentist have more egos than actors.
beach holiday thinking
When you get to the holidays, if you think that the holidays will be forever, you just take it for granted. But, if you know that you have just three days at the beach, you will be so happy to be there, every day.
autumn people film
All my films have always been released in the autumn, maybe because they're more melancholy to people.
party knowing life-is
It's more enjoyable for me to know that life is finite. Knowing that, I would like to go to a party.
life-and-death transformation illusion
Life and death are illusions. We are in a constant state of transformation.
lasts masochism observing
For me, it's not about masochism to talk about death. For me, it's about observing life through death, from the last point of it.
stupid tyrants creative
In the creative process, my ego has always been a huge tyrant ... a dictator and kind of rude and very misleading, because sometimes when I'm doing something, I say, "This is great! This is fantastic! Very genius!" And 20 minutes later, I feel like a dead jellyfish. "You are a stupid a**hole. This is a piece of sh*t. Nobody will care about it."
fun thinking people
There's nothing better than being in a film that translates to audiences and makes people think and feel good and walk away with great revelations in their own life of some kind. But when the process and the experience and the fun of that matches, it's a good feeling.
deny shots
I never deny a true experience in one shot.
oscars condom enjoy
Fear is the condom of life. It doesn't allow you to enjoy things.
