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

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

All film directors, whether famous or obscure, regard themselves as misunderstood or underrated. Because of that, they all lie. They're obliged to overstate their own importance.

There are no good and bad movies, only good and bad directors

Purely cinematic film ... actually the purest expression of a cinematic idea.

I've always had the impression that real militants are like cleaning women, doing a thankless, daily but necessary job.

I warmly recommend to you the films of poets.
