I think Woody Allen is Woody Allen, and no matter where he goes he still makes his Woody Allen films.

We are nothing but a link between our culture and what we can actually produce.

The digital camera has given me total freedom and a different way of filming.

My car is my best friend. My office. My home. My location. I have a very intimate sense when I am in a car with someone next to me. We're in the most comfortable seats because we're not facing each other, but sitting side by side.

I prefer the countryside to cities. This is also true of my films: I have made more films in rural societies, and villages, than in towns.

My last experience of film-making was Tickets, a three-episode film in Italy, the third of which is directed by myself. It's not for me to judge whether it's a good film or a bad film, but what I could say is that nobody had a cultural or linguistic issue with what was produced.

I prefer the films that put their audience to sleep in the theater. Some films have made me doze off in the theater, but the same films have made me stay up at night, wake up thinking about them in the morning, and keep on thinking about them for weeks.
