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.

Three films a day, three books a week and records of great music would be enough to make me happy to the day I die.

In love, women are professionals, men are amateurs.

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.

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

At first, I wasn't sure whether I'd be a critic or a filmmaker, but I knew it would be something like that.

I'd skip school regularly to see movies - even in the morning, in the small Parisian theaters that opened early.
