I Don't Intentionally Make Deep Movies.

Personally I Am Very Pessimistic. But When, For Instance, One Of My Staff Has A Baby You Can't Help But Bless Them For A Good Future. Because I Can't Tell That Child, 'oh, You Shouldn't Have Come Into This Life.' And Yet I Know The World Is Heading In A Bad Direction. So With Those Conflicting Thoughts In Mind, I Think About What Kind Of Films I Should Be Making.

I Think We Should Stop Using Nuclear Power Plants Because It's An Old System That We Can't Control.

I Try To Dig Deep Into The Well Of My Subconscious. At A Certain Moment In That Process, The Lid Is Opened And Very Different Ideas And Visions Are Liberated. With Those I Can Start Making A Film. But Maybe It's Better That You Don't Open That Lid Completely, Because If You Release Your Subconscious It Becomes Really Hard To Live A Social Or Family Life.

Its Not A Story In Which The Characters Grow Up, But A Story In Which They Draw On Something Already Inside Them, Brought Out By The Particular Circumstances. I Want My Young Friends To Live Like That, And I Think They, Too, Have Such A Wish.

I Myself Become Terrified Of Death When I Am In A Negative State Of Mind. But The Thought Of Death Ceases To Bother Me Once I Become Productive.
