I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.

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.

It's a way of living, cinema. And I see my family, I do this and that, I travel. It's a long process to let it happen.

To share a lot of ideas - not ideas - emotions, a way of looking at people, a way of looking at life. If it can be shared, it means there is a common denominator.

Good cinema is good cinema. It makes you feel like you need to work. Just yesterday I saw a good film, but even if I'd seen a bad one, I'd feel, "Oh my god, what a bad job, I can do better."

I had flops, I had success.

I go back to many films that I really love. Some Bresson, some Godard of the early times, the Cassavetes of those years I love. And the early Wim Wenders. But my own films I don't watch, unless I need them.
