Unfortunately, Cinema Critics Are Very Few In

I Think Violence Can Never Be Justified. At The Same Time, Nobody’s Culture Or Beliefs Should Be Insulted, That’s Not Something I Can Accept Either. But I Cannot Justify Or Accept Any Violence At All.

I Do Think That We Are Sometimes, As Directors, Guilty Of Portraying Or Asking Our Actors To Behave In Certain Ways That Are Perhaps Not Very Morally Acceptable. I'm Not The Only One.

I Prefer The Countryside To Cities. This Is Also True Of My Films: I Have Made More Films In Rural Societies, And Villages, Than In Towns.

I Have Somewhat Lost My Enthusiasm In The Last Years. Mainly Because Film Students Using Digital Video These Days Have Not Really Produced Anything Which Is More Than Superficial Or Simplistic; So I Have My Doubts.

When I Talk To Some Of The Younger Filmmakers, They Are So Worried About Their Films That, Eventually, This State Of Being Worried Reflects Itself In And Helps The Final Work. Whereas, With Projects That Are Meticulously Planned, You Look At The End Result And It Is Full Of Emptiness.
