I thought that I had been asked every kind of question possible.

As long as I take the responsibility of the choice, I have to make the choice that is as right as possible.

In order to be able to cooperate with a child, you have to come down to below their level in order to communicate with them. Actors are also like children.

Everybody knows that I am not usually patient enough to actually sit down and watch one of my own films from the beginning to the end - I never do.

Of the hundreds of points to enter and exit that are offered to me, I have to choose the one that I feel is the least wrong, the least fake. It is fake, it is a moment that I choose to erupt the story, but I make it as smooth as I can. What enables me to do it is the skill of filmmaking.

Despite the great advantages of digital video and the great ease of using the medium, still those who use it have first to understand the sensitivities of how to best use the medium.
