Quotes
[June 2009 - When asked if he thinks that directors go too far to prove themselves different from others and go on to make the tale in a more complex way then it should and if he has been the victim of the same, given his movies being far too unconventional for his times] I just stay the way I am. To prove anything is not my thing.
