- I live in a politically sensitive society. All the people involved in my movies live in the same society, so we cannot simply unhook ourselves from the context. I will film things that contain political topics but I will never make my movies a tool for politics. [2023]
- I'm not particularly interested in politics (...) I don't want my films to become a political tool. The movies I watched in my childhood were full of politics, ideology and an agenda. I don't want people to find these elements in the movies I make. [2023]
- These are people's authentic lives. So I am not going to dodge these topics, but based on my subjective understanding of film, I would never politically affiliate my films. It is our own fates, fortunes and misfortunes that I like to focus on in my movies. And that's what I hope you focus on in my movies, too. [2023]
