"Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out."

"The only time I’ve ever been starstruck was when I met Bob Dylan. And he didn’t say a word."

"I make films because I have to. I've always been driven to tell stories."

"I'm a big believer in learning from the past."

"I'm not interested in making films that are easy to forget. I want to make films that leave a lasting impression."
