bad good superhero
Look, I'm no purist - there are good superhero films, and there are bad ones.
good war
To make a film is easy; to make a good film is war. To make a very good film is a miracle.
accomplish challenge difficult good life
For me, the most important thing that I have to accomplish is to be a good father. That's the most difficult challenge of my life. That's the most important thing for me, more than films.
experience good learned liberating terrifies
I learned with 'Birdman' that it's liberating when you just lose yourself and go after something that terrifies you. The experience was so good.
cost depends good jewel nobody realistic scene takes time
What good is making a jewel if nobody see it? But cost depends on the story. To get those performances in 'Biutiful,' you need that time. You need 60 takes in a scene and a year to edit. It's not realistic to do it any other way.
best critic experience festivals films good maybe sixteen supposedly twenty watch
Nowadays, a critic has to watch 700, 800 films a year, and I know through experience, being a juror in prestigious film festivals where supposedly the best films are arriving, from twenty films maybe you see two that are good, one that is so-so, and one that is extraordinary. And the other sixteen are terrible.

I think we do good things and bad things, sometimes simultaneously - or they may be the same thing.

Good directors don't answer questions with their work. They generate debate and create discussion.

Irony is a great tool to deal with things. It's an intellectualization, a way to go above things, which can work.
became bit head irony tail
Irony became the head that bit its tail and then there is no way out.
experience extension few numerous virtues vital
My cinema is an extension of myself. A sort of life-testimony of my vital experience, with my few virtues and my numerous limitations.
conscious embrace life
You can better embrace life, you can enjoy it more, when you are conscious that it will end. You bite life.
affected baton boats crossed rouge travels
When I think about growing up, I feel most affected by two travels that I made working in cargo boats when I was 16 and 18. One of them crossed through the Mississippi and Baton Rouge and Mobile, Alabama, and another went all the way to Europe.
dramatic responsibility
My responsibility is to make a film and find my dramatic language; I don't have any political or social responsibility.
