I Never Reflect Or Convey

The One-word Cinema Wasn't Possible For Me Anymore. I'd Hit A Wall, A Dead End. Therefore I Thought I'd Turn Back.

The Kind Of Sleep That I Had During My Own Film [certified Copy] Screening In Cannes Is Different. It's Not Because Of The Specificity Of The Film. It Was Because Of My Relationship As An Author To This Film. Usually When I Take My Films To Festivals, I Feel Incredibly Anxious About Them. I Wonder How It Will Be Received, How The Audience Will React. I Feel Deeply Responsible For Them. Whereas This Time, I Didn't Have That Responsibility On My Shoulders.

I Have No Advice For Anyone On How To Live.

I Don't Ask My Students To Have Studied Film Or Any Education In General. What I Ask Them Is To Come And Sit And Tell Me A Story, And The Way They Choose It And Tell It, For Me, The Best Criteria For Whether They Are Right For Making Films. There's Nothing More Important Than Being Able To Tell Your Story Orally.

Film Is Very Much A Universal And Common Voice, And We Can't Limit It To One Particular Culture.
