The motion pictures I have made and the plays I have chosen to direct represent my convictions.
I was able to capture on film things the actors didn't even know they were doing.
Criticism- a big bite out of someone's back.
I was not a collective person or a bohemian; I was an elitist.
It's difficult, if not impossible, to get away with anything false before the camera. That instrument penetrates the husk of the actor; it reveals what's truly happening - if anything, if nothing. A close-up demands absolute truth. It's a severe and awesome truth
The more ambivalent you are and the more uncertain you are, then you can get something that you cannot anticipate.
