| What I expect of a movie reviewer is that he should love cinema as much as I do. |
| I would rather my films be well-known than I be well-known. |
| I've always done 20 things at once. It's my way of staying alive, not to keep one dish cooking, but several dishes going. And I'm pretty organized. |
