My aesthetic is that of the sniper on the roof.

Reportage is interesting only when placed in a fictional context, but fiction is interesting only if it is validated by a documentary context.

One must confront vague ideas with clear images.

If I'm speaking it means that in one way or another when I say, "I'm cold" it belongs to me: I'm cold. But just by saying this it becomes general.

There is no such thing as intellectual property.

If you have made three or four films, my feeling is, he is older than me because I am still making my first movie. That helps me.

I've always said that to make movies, to make images and sound, is possible by one way or another. And it has not to be ruled by the Pharaohs of Egypt, the Pharaohs from Hollywood or wherever. I have tried very hard to make even a small budget picture here. It always fails. Over a dozen times. And now I know why. It was only because I wanted to be in control of the money. To spend it the way I wanted.
