I think that I used to love Hollywood movies. I remember great phases and moments. But, unfortunately, now is not the moment.

What I was talking about was, of course, very autobiographical - '68 was the moment when all the young people were incredibly excited, because when we were going to sleep, we knew we would wake up not tomorrow, but in the future. There was a sense of future that was the result of the mixture of politics, cinema, music, the first joints. And the movies were a very important part of that cocktail.

To explore technology for me is something that I have to do. Otherwise, I feel completely left in the back... abandoned.

This is something that I dream about: to live films, to arrive at the point at which one can live for films, can think cinematographically, eat cinematographically, sleep cinematographically, as a poet, a painter, lives, eats, sleeps painting.

You live day by day. You can't build your life.

You know, in ten years you're gonna be playing soccer with your tits, what do you think of that?

I'm no longer interested in making political films. There's something old-fashioned about them. Young people now don't care for politics. It isn't present in life as it used to be. And increasingly I like films which reflect present-day reality.
