A man could spend the rest of his life trying to remember what he shouldn't have said.

I'll kill you with my own hands rather than let you put the mark of Cain on my brother!

Directors are like generals, political dictators, aggressive people...And everyone in the film is always grateful if you can tell them what to do.

Do you know what it's like to love and be alone?

It's perversion. Don't you see what it is? It's not natural. To go to great expense for something you want, that's natural. To reach out to take it, that's human, that's natural. But to get your pleasure from not taking, from cheating yourself deliberately like my brother did today, from not getting, from not taking. Don't you see what a black thing that is for a man to do? How it is to hate yourself?

First of all, directing is an idea that you have of a total flow of images that are going on, which are incidentally actors, words, and objects in space. It's an idea you have of yourself, like the idea you have of your own personality which finds its best representation in the world in terms of specific flows of imaginary images. That's what directing is.

What are you gonna do? Kill me? Everybody dies.
