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.

After many, many years, I fell out of love with politics. It's not something I like but it's the truth.

I accept all interpretations of my films. The only reality is before the camera. Each film I make is kind of a return to poetry for me, or at least an attempt to create a poem.

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.

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

If New York is the Big Apple, tonight Hollywood is the Big Nipple.
