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

Whether you consider me a master filmmaker or not, I do it with my intuition and my vision, my experience as a storyteller.

I don't like reverse-angle shots - I find them very fake and very untruthful to the viewer.

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

I never really learned photography.

I really think that I don't mind people sleeping during my films, because I know that some very good films might prepare you for sleeping or falling asleep or snoozing. It's not to be taken badly at all.

Those same people, when they leave the theater, when they look behind the curtains they are curious about their neighbors, they can guess if their neighbors are siblings or a couple, how old they are, what their occupation is. They are curious about each other and they can understand each other without being fed information. Why should it be different in cinema?
