My way of expression is full of complications and mystery because that's my perception of life.

I'm still very grateful to digital cameras in general, but I didn't have this feeling with the RED one.

The one-word cinema wasn't possible for me anymore. I'd hit a wall, a dead end. Therefore I thought I'd turn back.

There are certainties in existence, but love is something much harder to define than light and dark, life and death. I think saying you are "like" someone in love sounds right.

I did not have a script [of Close Up]. I made notes in the evenings and we filmed during the day over 40 days.I didn't sleep a wink for those 40 nights. I have a picture from the end of the shoot, and in it I have lost all my hair.

In my mind, there isn't as much of a distinction between documentary and fiction as there is between a good movie and a bad one.

In real life, when someone's partner calls them, they can tell from the first word their partner says what their mood is.
