You have to show violence the way it is. If you don't show it realistically, then that's immoral and harmful. If you don't upset people, then that's obscenity.

The whole showmanship is NOT to answer every question.

Happy endings make me puke.

Whenever I get happy, I always have a terrible feeling.

The best films are because of nobody but the director.

I don't rehash the past. It's my baggage. That's all. I accept things as they are.

Don't fight your problem. Know that there is a solution.

At 13 you're not even thinking about that, you know? I was just playing for fun and uploading videos on YouTube because I wanted to show my family.

I do want to come across something, I do want to feel something and see something.

That which we can't remember, we will repeat.

My family was all musicians. We jam all the time.
