The only thing a master can teach is how to learn about yourself. There are no secrets. They are only techniques to waken yourself.

The first thing I didn't understand was my life. It's a mystery. And today I don't understand economy or politics. I don't know why politics or economy are destroying the world, but I will understand after understanding.

If the picture is not an artistic picture, it's show, like television. Television series are very funny, but it's a collective production. An industrial art. A car is not made by a person, it's made by a group of creators, only to go to the market to buy your cigarettes. That is a car - they are not a big art, they are a little art.

Most directors make films with their eyes; I make films with my testicles.

I am like the rain, I go where I'm needed.
