The theater is like a faithful wife. The film is the great adventure - the costly, exacting mistress.

We make each other alive; it doesn’t make a difference if it hurts.

To shoot a film is to organize an entire universe.

I feel very strongly that I’m surrounded by other realities.

Here, in my solitude, I have the feeling that I contain too much humanity.

Everything is worth precisely as much as a belch, the difference being that a belch is more satisfying.

I'm planning, you see, to try to confine myself to the truth. That's hard for an old, inveterate fantasy martyr and liar who has never hesitated to give truth the form he felt the occasion demanded.
