Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints.

I've become a body of films, not a man, I am all those films.

When you can look forward, and the road is clear ahead, and now you are going to create something - that's as happy as I'd want to be.

I would almost say that the best screen actor is the man who can do nothing extremely well.

One must never set up a murder. They must happen unexpectedly, as in life.

Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.

Making a film means, first of all, to tell a story. That story can be an improbable one, but it should never be banal. It must be dramatic and human. What is drama, after all, but life with the dull bits cut out?
