If You're Going To Retire, Retire Early.

In Fact, I Am A Pessimist. But When I'm Making A Film, I Don't Want To Transfer My Pessimism Onto Children. I Keep It At Bay. I Don't Believe That Adults Should Impose Their Vision Of The World On Children, Children Are Very Much Capable Of Forming Their Own Visions. There's No Need To Force Our Own Visions Onto Them.

Reality Is For People That Lack Imagination.

You Always Have To Appeal To Your Audience. You Always Have To Consider How Well Your Project Will Do In Terms Of Admissions. I Abandoned Many Stories Because Of That. But I Don't Get Too Down About It. It's Something I Accepted From The Time I Decided To Work In Films. I Could Always Do Something Else If I Got Sick Of It, Like Draw Manga, Or Make My Own Films. I Found It Pointless Sitting In My House Not Working, Though I'd Like To Go On Extended Vacations From Time To Time.

Virtual Reality Is A Denial Of Reality. We Need To Be Open To The Powers Of Imagination, Which Brings Something Useful To Reality. Virtual Reality Can Imprison People.

In Order To Grow Your Audience, You Must Betray Their Expectations.
