You cannot do everything you want with the 3D camera, it's too big, and the digital quality of those cameras is a little bit limiting. With film, you have a lot more subtly, like with highlights and color. In terms of sharpness they (both formats) are very close but in terms of nuance, of color and contrast, film is far superior.

I think always my interest in making movies is to have something really technical mixed with something that was not so formal...something free.

I had a lot of encouragement and tolerance from my parents, but I also have many friends who didn't get that from their parents and in a way they have more strength from spending years where nobody believed in them.

My father had a Super 8 camera when I was a kid and sometimes he would use it. I did some animation with it. I did a lot of flipbooks.

When I saw The Matrix and other movies of this type, I wished I had been given the opportunity to express myself with all this technology and do something sort of big in scale, but the right material never really came my way.

Pop music is created by repression - and then the system takes it and makes even more money with it!

I hate cynicism. I wipe it from me. I don't like cynical people. I don't like cynical movies. Cynicism is very easy. You don't have to justify it. You don't have to fight for it.

I'm just thinking of 2001, which I think is the most expensive independent film ever made - which is great, someday I hope I will do one. But I know the parameters when I got onto this project - I have to take care of everyone, make sure that they are all on board, and this process interests me.

The MTV Video Awards were never about the video, but about the song. Most of the time it was just to glorify people for the wrong reason.

Michael Jackson will always be my favorite pop musician he was for years and years until his death, which was horrible to me. So I like pop culture. But to me, even if it's popular, there is a quality in the music you have to be able to appreciate.

You can't feel sorry for a scene. If the movie works without the scene, then you don't need the scene.

I would define myself as being naive and perverse at the same time. And I think that if that is consistent it will make the tone consistent.

It's part of my job to maintain the emotional reality and the naturalism even when the atmosphere is contrived.

In a way, putting actors deep into this sort of complicated universe frees them from thinking about who they should be. They just are somebody.

I'm part of the consumer culture... I'm just using the space I am given to express something that is out of the space so I'm part of the consumer system but I'm advocating stepping out. Which is a contradiction but I could be part of he consumer system and say, 'let's consume even more.'

I don't like those shows where people get eliminated every week, and then they have to get meaner to survive.

Perhaps my favourite story is 'Le Passe-Muraille' by Marcel Ayme. It's about a guy who wakes up with a weird faculty that means he can walk through walls. He's a very shy clerk, and he uses it to get revenge, or vent his frustration.

All these gadgets, the phone and the computer, they expose the inside of your brain in a way that's bad.
