For me, filmmaking is not about making statements but about exposing human behavior so people are eager enough to start thinking on their own and make their own assumptions.

Anytime people see an emotion that is not extremely emotional, they call it 'deadpan.'

In general, I like contradictions and complex situations.

In film, I like transformation. That goes for the language, for the image, for the performance.

There are various ways of delivering some kind of truth, so I try to find the style or the way that I find more effective.

If you use music boldly at the front of a scene, it creates another level.
