I Believe In God, Absolutely.

I Love Movies; I Grew Up Loving Movies. I've Always Loved Movies. I Never Thought About Making Movies Until I Took Art Classes And Then I Started Studying Different Artists. As You Study Paintings, You See Light And Shadow, Of Course - Rembrandt, Eugène Delacroix. You Start To Understand The Relationship Between People And Art, And Images. For Me, Between Movies That I Watched And Art, It Was Like, I'd Love To Make Moving Art. Moving Pictures.

I Just Think You Can't Shut Your Life Off To Just, You Know, One Thing. You Gotta Be Open-minded. Explore Things. Feed Your Artist.

Cinema Paradiso, Because It Reminds Me Of Why I Make Movies, The Magic Of Movies, The Romance Of Movies.

Being A Kid Growing Up With Kurosawa Films And Watching Sergio Leone Movies Just Made Me Love What It Could Do To You, And How It Could Influence You - Make You Dream.

Even The Westerns That I Grew Up With, The Sergio Leone's And All That, There Was Always A Sort Of Anti-hero, A Guy Reluctant To Shame Even, To Pick Up The Gun Again Because He Wants To Help Other People, And He Does, He Uses His Skills For That.
