Directing non-actors is difficult. Directing actors in a foreign language is even more difficult. Directing non-actors in a language that you yourself don't understand is the craziest thing you can possibly think of.

If the audience, in minute 50, is thinking about the way a movie is shot, there's a problem. I want it to permeate emotionally.

In 'A Confession,' Tolstoy found meaning that he could hold on to, and he lived for another 30 years.

'Russian Ark,' I adore - I almost cried at the end of that film, it's so beautiful.
architecture
The visual architecture of 'Biutiful' is the most sophisticated of all the films I have directed.
intense life
I'm an intense person. My own vision of life has always been heavy.

As a Third World citizen, I always feel that I need to express my point of view. Sometimes the points of view of Third World countries are never expressed. We don't have that possibility, sometimes, to spread what we feel and how we see things.

time
I'm neurotic. I complain all the time. I'm a workaholic. And I'm never satisfied.
