When I have a low budget I always try to make it a lesson in economy.

The average income in France is $1,000 a month, and you can't live decently on that.

It makes me laugh when you bring two things together which have nothing to do with one another.

We are in the twentieth or the twenty-first century, but all the thinking, if you speak to one of those people keen on technology - you see that all their thinking is two centuries old. In cinema, you can show this.

You can't transmit a landscape, happily enough.

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

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