I've Never Studied Psychology.

Many Of My Movies Have Strong Female Leads - Brave, Self-sufficient Girls That Don't Think Twice About Fighting For What They Believe In With All Their Heart. They'll Need A Friend, Or A Supporter, But Never A Savior. Any Woman Is Just As Capable Of Being A Hero As Any Man.

I Do Believe In The Power Of Story. I Believe That Stories Have An Important Role To Play In The Formation Of Human Beings, That They Can Stimulate, Amaze And Inspire Their Listeners.

We Live In An Age When It Is Cheaper To Buy The Rights To Movies Than To Make Them.

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 Would Like To Make A Film To Tell Children "it's Good To Be Alive".
