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

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

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen in a movie theatre is to go down to the front and turn around, and look at all the uplifted faces, the light from the screen reflected upon them.

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.

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

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.
