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

I write and film history; I don't make it.

The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.

In films, we are trained by the American way of moviemaking to think we must understand and 'get' everything right away. But this is not possible. When you eat a potato, you don't understand each atom of the potato!

When we talked, I talked about me, you talked about you, when we should have talked about each other.

This new world which is being born is cynical and amnesiac. And it has eliminated perspective.

To become immortal, and then to die.
