Film is a window to the real world but a lie that makes you believe the unbelievable.

In the last ten years of watching films I have found that some of the foreign films I saw affected me most. One American film that stands out for me for its workmanship and artistry is 'Ratatouille.' It was an astonishing effort in filmmaking.

Film is a window to the real world but a lie that makes you believe the unbelievable.

There's nothing more interesting than the landscape of the human face.

I want films to haunt an audience, to give them something to remember and be able to talk about.

I have not been a follower of how many millions my films made or did not make.

I have not given much credence to reviews of my films. Sometimes they're wrong, but it didn't matter to me.
