"I don't believe in misconceptions in art and films. There are always so many different ways to relate to or understand a film. I love films that give a great amount of space to the audience to explore or be active with what the film is saying."
"There is a universal urge to rethink our spirituality in order to give us a new sense of security."
"For me, once the film is out, it belongs to the audience, and I have to be open to any reaction that comes from it."
