I think storytelling is all about children. We human beings love to hear stories being told - and it first happens when you're a kid.

The thing about movies now is in a way what it always was: The screen is huge and now the sound systems are too. And you never get that with TV. Even with a home system, it's never the same.

Psychology doesn't address the soul; that's something else.

I was so besotted with '8½' that, when it was on TV, I used to take pictures with my 35-mm. camera of the frames of the film. That was the first time I'd ever really seen Italians on screen.

Network television is all talk. I think there should be visuals on a show, some sense of mystery to it, connections that don't add up.

People get so tired of the '60s.

I think people are intolerant of artists.
