Vamos, está bueno, muy bueno que a una chica como Julie Delpy le gusten películas de acción, la hace más, umm, perfecta. Pero ¡¿por qué tenía que gustarle Starship Troopers?! Es lo que dice en esta entrevista con la gente de Cinematical. Por lo menos luego arregla un poco las cosas diciendo que también le gusta Spielberg y Star Wars.

RS: I love Starship Troopers.

JD: [laughs] I love that film! I love Verhoeven. I love his films. And some people are really like, ‘What, but it’s not art movies,’ and I’m like ‘I don’t care.’ I like Carl Dreyer and Godard and I like Verhoeven and Spielberg. Why do you have to like one kind? I think it’s very limiting. I love Mario Bava and those were like 60s horror Italian films and I like Pasolini, nothing to do with one another other. Well, both Italians, but it’s like ‘Why not? Why does it have to be one style?’ If you like movies … I will enjoy a good comedy no matter what it is, you know? I’m very open. I think, in a way, it’s because I was raised like this by my parents bringing me to see anything. It doesn’t matter if it’s Bergman or Star Wars, you know?

Incluso luego habla sobre su intención de dirigir una película de ciencia ficción, como Blade Runner o 2001, sus favoritas:

JD: I’d like to find a really good sci-fi story, but it’s not easy. You don’t want to do a bad sci-fi. I’ve been writing ideas and stuff. I wrote ideas a while ago, but one was too similar, it turned out. It was before The Matrix but it was too similar to The Matrix. Which is sad. [laughs] But I would never have gotten financing in time anyway, so who cares? But you know, things like that have happened to me sometimes. I’ve written something and it’s like ‘Oh shit — it’s being done right now.’ Things like that. But you know, hopefully one day I’ll stumble on or I’ll think of something that really works for a sci-fi thing and I’ll write it or I’ll find a book. You know.
