I make money because I have to pay for everything apart from my school fees. My mother even makes me pay my own telephone bill.
The whole year I was in LA I got into telemarketing and learned how to make money. Five years later that skill helped me make my first film.
I suppose I might insist on making issues of things. But that is not my nature, and I always bear in ming that my mission is to leave behind me the kind of impression that will make it easier for those who follow.

When I was a kid I feel lonely, I have not many friends. If you make a movie, then you can work with different kinds of people and make different kinds of friend. That's very important to me.
Laughing in the cultural industry is mockery of happiness.
If I couldn't laugh, I'd rather die.
Laughing is also good for your respiratory system.

I don't do politics. I just like to laugh.
