"Somehow you create this kind of magic, and you create a new reality that doesn’t exist — you’re creating it with a lot of people who believe in it."
"It's challenging to show a reality that is tough, or that is bad, violent, especially in art and films. But if you want to bring it to the audience, and if you want the audience to accept it and to be open, you have to do it with humor."

"If we want to compete with the world, we have to do it well."
