What I like in pictures whether by an old director or a young director is when I have the feeling he or she is really using the capacity of film.

There are two kinds of homeland: one that is given is like a negative, and one that you have to conquer is like the positive.

American pictures usually have no subject, only a story. A pretty woman is not a subject. Julia Roberts doing this and that is not a subject.

Sometime reality is too complex. Stories give it form.

Film is truth 24 times a second, and every cut is a lie.

To become immortal, and then to die.

Because my movies are not successful, they are not shown. So I make a living from the budget.
