Hands are the tool of the painter, the artist.

Sometimes I feel sad, but this is not nostalgia, because I don't want time to come back.

It's nice to think that we have in ourselves the energy. It's somewhere, but it's sleeping sometimes. I try to wake it up when I need it.

I didn't see films when I was young. I was stupid and naïve. Maybe I wouldn't have made films if I had seen lots of others; maybe it would have stopped me. I started totally free and crazy and innocent. Now I've seen many films, and many beautiful films. And I try to keep a certain level of quality of my films. I don't do commercials, I don't do films pre-prepared by other people, I don't do star system. So I do my own little thing.

I live in cinema. I feel I've lived here forever.

In my films I always wanted to make people see deeply. I don't want to show things, but to give people the desire to see.

The mirror is the tool of the one who wants to do a self-portrait. And if you want to make a photo you need a mirror.
