There's no more film; now everything's digital. I welcome this. It's fantastic for me to have a new chance.

A name? Oh, Jesus Christ. Ah, God, I've been called by a million names all my life. I don't want a name. I'm better off with a grunt or a groan for a name.

I was writing poems when I was young, you know, because my father was a poet, so it was absolutely normal to follow my father.

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

Film students should stay as far away from film schools and film teachers as possible. The only school for the cinema is the cinema.

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

Every film I have made has corresponded to a very special moment of my life. I like to think that if someone wanted to reconstruct the story of my life, they can just see my movies and know what I have been through.
