Without a doubt, I was born to want to make cinema, but the kind of cinema I want to make is not like commercial movies, which I enjoy myself, but I wanted to be the kind of filmmaker who wrote original work, sort of like a novelist would who deals with who we are and our times or our relationships.

You know, 'Top Gun' was the movie I saw in high school that made me want to be a filmmaker.

On one hand, as a filmmaker, I don't want to make a movie with guns everywhere.
