Stupidity is infinitely more fascinating that intelligence. Intelligence has its limits while stupidity has none.

I wanted to make a film about stupid people that was very vulgar and deeply stupid. From that moment on I can hardly be reproached for making a film that is about stupid people.

I remember an article, I can't recall who by, it was after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which said that now the Wall was down, there could be no more class war. Only someone with money could ever say such a thing.

I am a Communist, certainly, but that doesn't mean I have to make films about the wheat harvest.

There's one thing which I hate about color films... people who use up a lot of their despairing producer's money by working in the laboratory to bring out the dominant hues, or to make color films where there isn't any color.

A woman is subject matter enough.

Films with a message just make me laugh.
