We often forgive those who bore us, but never those whom we bore.

I am often asked at what point in my love affair with films I began to want to be a director or a critic. Truthfully, I don't know. All I know is that I wanted to get closer and closer to films.

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.

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

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.

Life has more imagination than we do.
