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.

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.

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.

The thing is, memory is about trust. We have to trust that what we remember is fact. And we have to trust what other people remember for things we never saw.

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn't have an opportunity.

The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely to make money nor find much fun in life.

It's hard for me to feel bad for myself because I'm doing what I love to do. I'm in a good position.

Profit is a by-product of work; happiness is its chief product.

I love to create and that's what gives my soul the satisfaction.

Sometimes I can feel my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.

I don't go against the grain because I'm a contrary person.

I just like a good, honest personality. I like a real person, not somebody who is pretending to be something that they're not. That really annoys me.

What are movies for if not to have the good guys triumph over the bad ones?
