Sometimes I think that I understand my movies after I make them. Really. I go very often off of instinct.

I like that 3D is based on the fact that you look with two eyes, so two cameras imitate that.

I haven't made a movie for a while, but I've watched a lot. It's my major waste of time. I like to work, but also to be waiting for work.

The movies I like are always movies where cinema is reinvented like if it was the beginning of cinema.

I think that what I learned then, I didn't know I was learning. I just knew that I was very privileged to see somebody who was a writer, a great poet, and very smart-faced. Suddenly Pasolini becomes a director, so he has to invent cinema. It was like watching the invention of cinema. But I found out that Pasolini taught me a lot. It was, especially, the kind of respect that he had for reality. He had kind of epiphanies in his movies, like when a moment becomes full of grace, and it is like as if it was the most important moment in the life of a character.

If you mention any ideological thing about shooting Last Tango in Paris, I was thinking I was doing a political film.

I don't film messages. I let the post office take care of those.
