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.

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.

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

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

It's a matter of pride to me to get the film done fast, to get it done well. I understand the need for compromise. There is no such thing as a perfect shot, a perfect film. The purpose of film is not to make a monument to oneself.
