I would like the film to make people think about the place of women in the world - the advances and setbacks that they have experienced these past years in terms of their freedom.

I would like people to be moved to act collectively, to militate.

Never let your actors go before they are satisfied with a scene.

Never lose sight of what you're trying to say, and remain open to what's happening while you're filming.

I do films that I like. I have done comedy, romance, everything, and I always like to do it differently from the previous ones.

Following the Romanian tradition, garlic is used in excess to keep the vampires away.

Golf is the only sport that a professional can enjoy playing with his friends.

When you're outside of genre, you can expose more vulnerability.

Man is physical as well as metaphysical, a thing of shreds and patches, borrowed unequally from good and bad ancestors, and a misfit from the start.

I mean, the only thing that matters to me is getting to the work - getting to do the work. And I don't really care where it is: whether it's on stage or on television or in film.

Life is about growing and evolving. I feel like my life has been in stages, and the stages I went through when I was younger allowed me to grow into the man I am today.

Let us speak courteously, deal fairly, and keep ourselves armed and ready.

I speak the password primeval; I give the sign of democracy.
