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.

One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.

To become immortal, and then to die.

I like the idea of making films about ostensibly absolutely nothing. I like the irrelevant, the tangential, the sidebar excursion to nowhere that suddenly becomes revelatory. That's what all my movies are about. That and the idea that we're in possession of certainty, truth, infallible knowledge, when actually we're just a bunch of apes running around. My films are about people who think they're connected to something, although they're really not.

In the beginning there was not even talking. In movies, there was no need for that. Because it was more evident if there was no talking. Only in sports does there remain this fervor, which can even become violent. There's this desire to see something big.

Action can make you laugh. But just because you are glad. Even if there is no meaning.

When you are out in the land, OK, you have the land but you are alone with it. And sometimes it is too much.
