As I don't consider myself exceptional, but simply a storyteller, each of my stories is really a period of my life. Deep down I feel that criticism of my work-which is the most sincere and authentic vision of myself-is unsuitable and immodest, whether it is favorable or unfavorable.

You have to live spherically - in many directions. Never lose your childish enthusiasm - and things will come your way.

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

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

Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present.

I never make moral judgments; I'm not qualified to do so. I am not a censor, a priest, or a politician.

A creator always needs excuses.
