Something that I tell myself every morning when I wake up is like: "Think it over, take the time to think it over." I don't like spontaneity, there you go. I'm wary of it.

I think 'Scarface' is a great film, but if you have a character like Tony Montana, you don't identify with him at all. I think it's very interesting instead to identify yourself with a character you don't like all the time. You can create a tension between the fiction and the viewer. You force the spectator to wonder about his actions.

If you look at American studios, the big productions have nothing to do with reality.

Film is abstract, not definite. It is a dream.

Cinema for me only has meaning when it has a relationship with what I see outside on the street.

When someone is punched in the face, you find out what they are made of.
