I always try to be different. I always want to surprise myself.

I don't like to be on a set and wait three hours, just to make some lighting adjustments. I like to shoot. That's what I want to do. I'd rather shoot something dumb than wait.

I'm just trying to find some secret places in the human brain because I think movies tend to be too rational sometimes. Everything is supposed to make sense. Everything is supposed to be logical.

To me, the movie is more funny if, at the same time, you can think a little bit or dream a little bit.

It [moviemaking] is like a dream. When you're dreaming, you make some very strange connections between some random stuff and random people.

If you lost the love of your life, that's a nightmare.

I'm a small filmmaker, making my small, low-budget movies, but I'm super lucky to know that everybody reacts differently to my movies. That's interesting.

Yeah, the main goal when I'm writing [movie scripts] is to entertain myself. It's supposed to be funny, but then a funny idea can be turned into something else.

I've been obsessed with making movies since I was 15. I watched a lot of movies when I was young, and I decided that I wanted to do that because I was a passionate kid about watching movies.

Lovers find secret placesinside this violent worldwhere they make transactions with beauty.

We like to admit to only that which already glows, although it is nobler to support brightness before it glows, not afterwards.

There is so much left of it to explore.

Art and music are the vehicle for the zeitgeist.

Don't look over people's shoulders. Look in their eyes. Don't talk at your children. Take their faces in your hands and talk to them. Don't make love to a body, make love to a person.

Love. It's so close to hate, it's almost indistinguishable.

He who loves not lives not.

When a lot of people are calling you crazy: you're either crazy, or you're onto something.

Lessons learned in the home, last the longest.

If your life's worth living, it's worth recording.
