I question the value of stars. I think they're overrated. They get too much money, too much praise.

The camera is more than a recorder, it's a microscope. It penetrates, it goes into people and you see their most private and concealed thoughts.

I was always a self-conscious person.

You have to remind people of their own struggles. It's a responsibility.

I used to spend most of my time straining to be a nice guy so people would like me.

I was the true future. I understood Communism better than they did.

I was not a collective person or a bohemian; I was an elitist.
