Through most of my career I've made a decent living making movies no one wants to see.

We are all older and more tired.

There are different kinds of painting, some with lights and some without, but still if you look at any painting here (in the light) and then over here (out of the light) it's an entirely different thing. The consciousness of this came to the Impressionists and I'm very interested in that.

To live in society today is like living in one enormous comic-strip.

If direction is a look, montage is a heartbeat. To foresee is the characteristic of both; but what one seeks to foresee in space, the other seeks in time.

The fact is that, unless you are very good, most first movies are too long, and you lose your rhythm and your audience over two or three hours.

Once we know the number one, we believe that we know the number two, because one plus one equals two. We forget that first we must know the meaning of plus.
