- [on Aferim! (2015)] ...this is by no means the biggest Romanian film after the revolution [in 1989]. Nae Caranfil's films The Rest is Silence (2007) and Closer to the Moon (2014) were much more expensive than "Aferim!". And these are just the first examples that come to mind. The film is a miracle somehow in this respect as well, as the crew was so very efficient and managed to bring a lot of production value without extensive spending. There is also the fact that Romania has still very competitive prices and amazing craftsmen in all the departments. It is hard to believe that the film was finally shot in 23 days, practically without overtime. (...) The crew was big, on the final credits we counted 498 names without the 'thanks'. Logistically it was an adventure, but the experience of the key crew members in period films was a definite plus. Here we are grateful to the big American and European productions that come to shoot in Romania and use our technicians. [2015]
- [her advice to filmmakers] Stay united. Forget your egos, you need each other. A film is a collective project: It is not only the director and the actors, it is also the wonderful technicians, the scriptwriters, all the other contributors. I believe that if you stay united you will help yourselves and your work, your future voices, building a more powerful reputation. [Thessaloniki 2013]
- Romanian cinema's 'minimalism' is not only about form, but reflects our limited resources as well. We must do the best we can with what we have. [2013]
- You have two kinds of cinema: Fast food and gourmet cinema, the latter being a kind of slow food, a food for thought. There are movies that raise your awareness on certain issues and stay with you for a long time. And I do believe the audience is now thirsty for originality. People are no longer content with simply buying a burger and devouring it. They are searching for new flavors. If you have spent your entire life eating french fries and you suddenly discover caviar, you start eating slowly, small pieces at a time. I think this is the case with festivals, special programs and artist meetings: They foster love of film. [Thessaloniki 2013]
