I have given a name to my pain, and it is Batman.
You can call me Joker. And as you can see, I'm a lot happier.
I want my kids to have a deep, inner feeling that it's alright to be happy, that you don't have to be constantly manufacturing problems that you don't really have.
Before I moved into the mainstream of American movies, I wrote a script as an experiment. I wanted to get very far away from the clichés about the three-act play - structure, development.
I am a person who is trained to look other people in the eye.
Never rub another man's rhubarb.
I'm a New Wave baby, so I got very stimulated by foreign film.
