I've seen many films and read lots of thrillers - and I'm always disappointed that I can guess the story before the other viewers.

Shame is very painful to endure. For me it makes perfect sense that the character would kill herself.

I sometimes follow people who attract my curiosity in the street for five, ten minutes.

Film-making is like spermatozoa: only one in a million makes it.

The constant in my films is love stories. I consider love the chief business of humanity.

Hollwood creates useful entertainment. There are millions of people on earth who need distraction and American cinema fulfills that function.

If you want to kill someone, you'd better pull off a perfect crime. Our security lies in the fact that that's damnably hard to do.
