I think musically.

I love Eric Clapton.

I'm an intense person.

Who cares about my opinions?

I have a bad reputation, I guess.

I am not a depressive person at all.

I'm usually very critical of myself.

Sometimes reading scripts is terrible.

I think films are bigger than structure.

I have learned that I am a one-woman man.

I'm telling the same story in every film.

Writing is not an unknown territory for me.

I never deny a true experience in one shot.

When there's a good script, everybody circles.

Innocence can be more powerful than experience.

If art doesn't move people, then art has failed.

Fear of the unknown is a great creative partner.

The way I put together images is a reactive art.

Too much knowledge and analysis can be paralysis.

Cinema is a mirror by which we often see ourselves.

'Ikiru' is existential but with a lot of tenderness.

If you stretch tragedy, it will always become comedy.

I started developing 'The Revenant' before 'Birdman.'

When I talk about sad things, I talk about sad things.

I can be unbearable sometimes asking for so many takes.

I have ADD. I can't pay attention to one thing too long.

It's harder to make real audio than special effects audio.

I define myself from a vision, from a point of view of life.

Cinema is universal, beyond flags and borders and passports.

The way films establish the order of scenes is very artificial.

I really try, at least consciously, not to be cynical or ironic.

I understand Sean Penn. He has every right to look for El Chapo.

I personally can't handle frivolous violence. I overreact to it.

Fear is the condom of life. It doesn't allow you to enjoy things.

I think I want to talk about life from the point of view of death.

Time is what allows stories to spread into people's consciousness.

I don't have anything against commercials, and I really like BMWs.

I'm an intense person. My own vision of life has always been heavy.

It was liberating to do comedy. It felt like playing in a jazz band.

'Biutiful' is not about death. It's about life. It's a hymn to life.

Everyone's terrified of being mediocre. Everyone wants to be special.

Irony became the head that bit its tail and then there is no way out.

I really didn't want to become branded as 'that multistructural guy.'

All people know that they will die, but they don't actually believe it.

I have always said that innocence is much more powerful than experience.

Cinema is an infinite medium, so we should take advantage of it, I think.

I have never met a superhero, but why are we so obsessed with superheroes?

I always think politicians and even my dentist have more egos than actors.

Life and death are illusions. We are in a constant state of transformation.

Rhythm is God. I think, without rhythm, you can't create - there is no art.
