Anything I've not experienced I do not look to for a subject. I have to feel it.

My films have been progressing towards a certain kind of minimalism, even though it was never intended. Elements which can be eliminated have been eliminated.

In my opinion the man looks at the relationship in a more bitter fashion and the woman still holds great hopes.

I think life is so difficult to catch, it's so furtive, that a copy, a film, can in no way catch it and represent it.

I do believe in [Robert] Bresson's method of creation through omission, not through addition.

I didn't just see myself as a film director here [in Life And Nothing More], but also as an observer of people who had been condemned to death.

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.
