I don't film messages. I let the post office take care of those.

I am still against any kind of censorship. It's a subject in my life that has been very important.

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

If you mention any ideological thing about shooting Last Tango in Paris, I was thinking I was doing a political film.

I don't think you can in any way export culture with guns or tanks.

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