There can be no understanding between the hand and the brain unless the heart acts as mediator.

My private life has nothing to do with my films.

Each picture has some sort of rhythm which only the director can give it. He has to be like the captain of a ship.

There can be no understanding between the hand and the brain unless the heart acts as mediator.

In America, sex is preached; in France, it is done.

You cannot make a social-consciou s picture in which you say that the intermediary between the hand and the brain is the heart. I mean, that's a fairy tale - definitely.

I should say that I am a visual person. I experience with my eyes and never, or rarely, with my ears... to my constant regret.
