I would be too selfish if I said everyone should see my movies more than once. To say that would mean I'm just marketing my work!

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.

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

I saw this French woman, this English man in Italy. It was a film [Certified Copy] I knew well, but I had already seen it, and I was familiar with it, and I had no feeling of anxiety or responsibility toward it.

I never reflect or convey that which I have not experienced myself.

All the different nations in the world, despite their differences of appearance and religion and language and way of life, still have one thing in common, and that is what's inside of all of us. If we X-rayed the insides of different human beings, we wouldn't be able to tell from those X-rays what the person's language or background or race is.
