Taste is a result of a thousand distastes.

I have always preferred the reflection of the life to life itself.

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

In love, women are professionals, men are amateurs.

But the cinephile is … a neurotic! (That’s not a pejorative term.) The Bronte sisters were neurotic, and it’s because they were neurotic that they read all those books and became writers. The famous French advertising slogan that says, “When you love life, you go to the movies,” it’s false! It’s exactly the opposite: when you don’t love life, or when life doesn’t give you satisfaction, you go to the movies.

Film lovers are sick people.

There's no such thing as an anti-war film.
