| Quotes: |
I don't feel enjoyment watching films that evoke passivity. If you need that kind of comfort, I don't understand why you wouldn't go to a spa.
<br />
<hr>
Basically, I'm throwing out the question 'When is such violence justified?' To get that question to touch the audience physically and directly - that's what my goal is. In the experience of watching my film, I don't want the viewer to stop at the mental or the intellectual. I want them to feel my work physically. And because that is one of my goals, the title 'exploitative' will probably follow me around for a while.
<br />
<hr>
In our lives, we have good things and bad things, happiness and pain. Life is full of pain and happiness and that's what I wanted to show.
<br />
<hr>
Living without hate for people is almost impossible. There is nothing wrong with fantasizing about revenge. You can have that feeling. You just shouldn't act on it.
<br />
<hr>
I have principles and rules. I deal very carefully with acts of violence and make sure that audiences understand how much suffering these acts cause. |
