Some day I'll make a film that critics will like. When I have money to waste.

I prefer to be busy all day long, and when you work for someone else, you're not busy enough.

I demand that a film express either the joy of making cinema or the agony of making cinema. I am not at all interested in anything in between.

A film is a boat which is always on the point of sinking-it always tends to break up as you go along and drag you under with it.

Taste is a result of a thousand distastes.

What switched me to films was the flood of American pictures into Paris after the Liberation.

Life has more imagination than we do.
