No film should try to follow a trend, and do what film people think the public wants. There's no such thing as knowing what the public wants.

Occasionally I do things against my inner voice, but you really should go for the thing that touches you most-even if you don't quite know why it does.

I've never believed much in that holding hands kind of love. I've always thought that love is about two different personalities trying to confront life, trying to make sense of their responsibilities, to themselves, to each other, and to the wider society.

I think that can happen, that two people can love each other and not be able to get on at all.
