I started to work when I was really young. For me, friendship is work, and work is friendship. Those who are next to me and that have been there for a long time are those who can work with me, play football with me, and go watch a film with me.

Cinema is a mirror that can change the world.

I was raised an orphan... My mother died when I was 2 years old.

I definitely promise to always make films about issues that matter to me.

The first time I heard the Mars Volta, I had a feeling I was experiencing something that people must have felt when they first heard Led Zeppelin. They have the same kind of power.

We live in a classist, racist, homophobic society into which we are very assimilated, that's all. I'm not really proud about that.
