Definitely directing is the thing I like the most because this is where everything you know can be used. It's the most personal process ever. It's the most demanding one, but again, rewarding.

I didn't go to university, and so, every time that I work, I'm looking for a teacher in a way. I'm looking for people that I can learn from and to have the chance to work with people that I admire.

I think film should raise questions, not give answers. I think film should challenge people to reflect, debate and get by themselves to the answer that fits them.

I've got two young children, so holidays are not the same as they used to be. There are now two types: family holidays and holidays you need from that holiday.

When I was growing up in the theater there were all these amazing girls telling me about the guy who broke their heart. And I was always wishing that it was me.

Every time I come to the States, I wish people would react to war like they react to tobacco, for example. Because war really kills in a second lots of people, thousands of people.

When I was really young, I used to lie a lot. Now I get paid to do it.

I hate fights. I try to talk people out of fighting if I can and if they start I run away.

I don't have this feeling like, oh, I want to live in the United States and make movies and become famous just because the money is here. I like to make movies that tell stories that I care about.

I think film is a world of directors. Theater is a world of actors.

In the world there exists no aesthetic plane, not even the aesthetic plane of goodness.

The Fates and Furies, as well as the Graces and Sirens, glide with linked hands over life.

Life gives only the canvas, but it is you, who chooses the colors.

I don't believe that there is anyone of faith whose faith would not be strengthened by those experiences of family.

Smile...it kills time between disasters.

Brought to you by raising your voice. The next best thing to being right.

It's always the darkest just before the glorious dawn.

When you open your heart with a quiet mind love rushes in.

When you are invited to a dinner, you are either a guest or you are part of a menu

The nine inches right here; set it straight and you can beat anybody in the world.
