- With a short [film] you are allowed to do whatever you want. It's like if you have a girlfriend and she tells you that you can do whatever you want. That's very exciting.
- There is no line between art and pornography. You can make art of anything. You can make an experimental movie with that candle or with this tape recorder. You can make a piece of art with a cat drinking milk. You can make a piece of art with people having sex. There is no line. Anything that is shot or reproduced in an unusual way is considered artistic or experimental.
- 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is the film I've seen more than any other in my life. My life altered when I discovered it when I was about seven in Buenos Aires. It was my first hallucinogenic experience, my great artistic turning-point and also the moment when my mother finally explained what a foetus was and how I came into the world. Without this film I would never have become a director.
- [on the best films of the last decade] It's funny, I was talking about this to a friend the other day and one of the best films of the decade, in my opinion, is 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007), the Romanian film. I also saw in 'The Times' last week, their best films of the decade, and one I agree with was the documentary Capturing the Friedmans (2003). That is great. And technically, there are moments in Avatar (2009) that are kind of amazing, especially if you see it with the Dolby 3D glasses.[2010]
- I really like Gravity (2013) for its 3D, but also in Hugo (2011) by Martin Scorsese. There was a long shot -- like a closeup of Méliès facing the camera and on the big screen that seemed kind of monumental. You seriously should be careful when you do a 3D movie not to cut too fast or to overedit because it's mind-exhausting. Once you fill the space, it's better to let the scene last.[2015]
