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

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

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.

Pornography is not in the hands of the child who discovers his sexuality by masturbating, but in the heart of the adult who slaps him.

Sometimes you are in sync with the times, sometimes you are in advance, sometimes you are late.

I left the ending ambiguous, because that is the way life is.

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.
