If you would ask me what my ideal process is, I would say, long pre-production, long production and long post-production.
When we are confronted with extreme situations, we forget about moral issues; we simply act and must then accept the consequences.
I do like musical films more than big Hollywood films, especially those by Jacques Demi and Vincent Minelli.
I'd love to do a sci-fi movie, a western, or an espionage thriller. But I'm not going to limit myself. If a good script comes along, I'm not going to discount it because it doesn't fit into one of these genres.
All of the characters in my films, they share one commonality. It doesn't matter whether they are good or bad, it doesn't matter whether they are smart or stupid, these characters all take responsibility for their own behavior. I'm much the same.
When I say that I am going to do an American film, I didn't want to suddenly go off into a completely different world that which bears no relation to the style of filmmaking that I'm used to.
