I've always said to people that auteurism is nice, but it's hypothetical, and gradually you learn how much or how little influence different directors had.

There's a part of me that looks beyond everything now.

I never argue with people about movies.

The Window is not without a certain visual spell that makes it a first-rate artistic achievement.

It is cynicism, and not idealism, that is generally the mark of youthful immaturity, or rather it is the cynic who is generally the most foolish romantic.

Movies are as old as psychoanalysis. So if I were to put you or anyone else on a couch and say, 'Tell me your favorite movies,' it would be a way of psychoanalyzing you.

Lemon Tree is well worth seeing as a first-class artistic achievement bridging two civilizations.
