It's easier to be faithful to a restaurant than it is to a woman.

When I do things without any explanation, but just with spontaneity...I can be sure that I am right.

Don't tell me what I'm doing; I don't want to know.

Every time I start a picture ... I feel the same fear, the same self-doubts . . . and I have only one source on which I can draw, because it comes from within me.

Everyone knows that time is Death, that Death hides in clocks. Imposing another time powered by the Clock of the Imagination, however, can refuse his law. Here, freed of the Grim Reaper's scythe, we learn that pain is knowledge and all knowledge pain.

Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.

There is abundant testimony that if we choose love rather than self, we gain immeasurably.
