One of the things I love about cinema is the range. ↗

Every movie that I do, if you analyze the stories, you can notice that in each story, that within the movie after the first 15 minutes, it could fall apart. Or every 10 minutes it has the chance that you lose the thread. On the other hand, if you succeed in putting them together, then the movie looks spontaneous and more like cinema. ↗

Cinema, which is influenced by every single part of life, is direct and reaches you immediately. And writing - the best writing is complex ideas communicated concisely. And music - if it's a good tune, make sure people can bloody hear it. ↗

I see horror as part of legitimate film. I don't see it as an independent genre that has nothing to do with the rest of cinema. ↗

In old movies, the cinematography is a thousand times better than anything today. Writing, a thousand times better. ↗

Entertainment came out of this thing called a television, and it was gray. Most of the films that we saw at the cinema were black and white. It was a gray world. And music somehow was in color. ↗

There's still a 1950s view of cinema, that there's one audience and they all want to see the same thing. ↗

Cinema is the ultimate pervert art. It doesn't give you what you desire - it tells you how to desire. ↗

It was from a weekly visit to the cinema that you learned (or tried to learn) how to strut, to smoke, to kiss, to fight, to grieve. Movies gave you tips about how to be attractive (...). But whatever you took home from the movies was only part of the larger experience of losing yourself in faces, in lives that were not yours - which is the more inclusive form of desire embodied in the movie experience. The strongest experience was simply to surrender to, to be transported by, what was on the screen ↗
