“Books and movies, they are not mere entertainment. They sustain me and help me cope with my real life.”

“I was born inside the movie of my life. The visuals were before me, the audio surrounded me, the plot unfolded inevitably but not necessarily. I don't remember how I got into the movie, but it continues to entertain me.”

“Real life, real love, isn't the way you see it in movies or read about in books.”

“I need a sitting room where I can entertain my friends, but I must have a library where my books entertain me.”

“[on what interests him as a moviegoer] I'm interested in seeing films that confront me with new things, with films that make me question myself, with films that help me to reflect on subjects that I hadn't thought about before, films that help me progress and advance. Those are the kinds of films that interest me. For me, personally, I think watching a movie that simply confirms my feelings is a waste of time. That applies not only to movies, but also to books and every form of art.”

“We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.”
