If you want to be a great director, be a great screenwriter.

Man is a genius when he dreams. Dream what you are capable of. The harder you dream it, the sooner it will come true.

It is the power of memory that gives rise to the power of imagination.

I like unformed characters. This may be because, no matter how old I get, I am still unformed myself.

The truth is in the mystery.

Something that you should take particular notice of is the fact that the best scripts have very few explanatory passages. Adding explanation to the descriptive passages of a screenplay is the most dangerous trap you can fall into. It’s easy to explain the psychological state of a character at a particular moment, but it’s very difficult to describe it through the delicate nuances of action and dialogue. Yet it is not impossible.

The characters in my films try to live honestly and make the most of the lives they've been given. I believe you must live honestly and develop your abilities to the full. People who do this are the real heroes.
