“I never made films like kind of career moves, like making this film in order to make that film in order to end up in Hollywood. It was more like what’s on my mind now. It was more like where is my brain now, or my heart, or whatever. They’re all part of some kind of, for better or for worse, journey. Even the bad ones, or the less successful ones let’s say, I know exactly why they happened like this and why they are like they are. I stayed an amateur who needed to live a bit in order to make films. I don’t need to be on the set and just keep churning out films. I definitely don’t want to shoot some scripts that are given me. For me, each film, each script is like a little journey in itself, and I’m reinventing the wheel. It’s like how do I make this film. That’s part of the pleasure and that’s why I’m not a normal professional director.”
