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

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

I don't see my movies. I think it's healthier and safer to keep a bit of distance. I'm afraid to be disappointed.

A monoculture is not only Hollywood, but Americans trying to export democracy.

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.

I remember being young in the 1960s. We had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world.

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