When I begin a film, I want to make a great film. Halfway through, I just hope to finish the film.

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

The man who thinks he can do without the world is indeed mistaken; but the man who thinks the world cannot do without him is mistaken even worse.

Everyone who works in the domain of fiction is a bit crazy. The problem is to render this craziness interesting.

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.

The film of tomorrow will resemble the person who made it, and the number of spectators will be proportional to the number of friends the director has.

Film lovers are sick people.
