I learned from Rossellini that you are rich even if you have a little money.

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.

Movies will continue one way or another. Maybe on video. Even on video games. You have to look at it, if you have children, or if you are linked to children, because it's new for them. This has not disappeared; the look of a child who is discovering the world, whatever it is.

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.

If you have $300,000 to shoot a cigarette on a table, it's an enormous amount of money. Maybe that's why my movies are the way they are. But it's the only way I can make a living.

Something that I like in movies, and I dislike too, is that they can't be projected well.

All you need to make a film is a girl and a gun
