From such trivia, I believe my soul was born.

Have them all shot. I don't want any of my workers dissatisfied.

We might as well die as to go on living like this.

The mirror is my best friend because when I cry it never laughs.

I am not a political man and I have no political convictions. I am an individual and a believer in liberty. That is all the politics I have. On the other hand I am not a super-patriot. Super-patriotism leads to Hitlerism - and we've had our lesson there. I don't want to create a revolution - I just want to create a few more films.

This is a ruthless world and one must be ruthless to cope with it.

So when I cease to be I want to go back...to the sea! Oh for the life of a sardine! That is the life for me!
