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.

You have to be strong to be a carpenter, maybe, but the director of a film doesn't need to have muscles.

Hands are the tool of the painter, the artist.

To change history is very slow. The first two times I came to the States - black people didn't have the right to vote.

You can buy a good pasta but when you cook it yourself it has another feeling.
