Before my commercial success, I had difficulty doing what I wanted, but my sincere short films always won prizes in festivals. So I was ready for larger successes.

I'm at peace with myself. My film just may please audiences. At any rate, it's already a great prize to be part of just 16 films among all of the world cinema out there. I'm tranquil and satisfied.

I'd never make a film that I am not passionate about. My whole life, I've only made the films I wanted to make, even when I had limited means.

If I need something, I just draw it, have a few friends make it move, and it exists. I enjoy this strange power. I try to be a good sorcerer, though.

Digital is expensive, from the computers to the professional software to the technicians, but digital helps me to create more beautiful images in less time.

Fairy tales have a hidden power, and their appeal never ends. They're the best way to get messages across.

The film industry needs to find a way to bring audiences to movie theaters. It's more of a technical trick than a revolution.

Fairy tales are my natural language. I feel at ease telling fairy tales like a fish feels in water. I am totally free.

I like to make people happy, and with fairy tales, I can say anything I want to, but in an agreeable way.

I've never made films for children. That's why children like my films. Nobody wants to be treated as a baby.

My producers give me total freedom. No one asks me for anything; they just tell me to make a good film, and that's what I do.

Exercising a spiritual gift without showing true love is meaningless.

If you write a line of zeroes, it´s still nothing.

Ignorance of true pleasure more frequently than temptation to that which is false, leads to vice.

And when we holdin' a Tec, we put a hole in your neck. Equippin' you with a permanent T-Pain vocal effect.

However much we know about birth in general, we know nothing about a particular birth. We must let it unfold with its own uniqueness.

Beauty is a horrible power.

That which comes after ever conforms to that which has gone before.

You know, Tupac is very near and dear to my heart. He started my career as an actor.

Those who know don't tell and those who tell don't know.

I don't have any stigma attached to my body. When I'm in my own private space, I have very little on.
