I just 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'm not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.

I don't believe in inspiration that arrives like a bolt from the blue ... It seems to me that the more motivated I am by what I film, the more objectively I film.

I've changed my approach to people and to filming because of the new equipment, which is important.

I hated myself totally white. So now I cheat. It's my white hair, and I put color there. My grandson says I'm punk.

It's peaceful to think about the family as a group. I totally believe in extended families.

I see all these students, and I admire them - they're trying to learn something, they go to school, they do film school, they go on shoots, they help. I'm sure they learn a lot, and some of them, it makes them aware of what they wish to do. I was - that's the way I was - autodidact.
