The silent film, it was cut at the age of thirty.

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.

I'm very interested in tennis, but when I try to tell younger players about [Bill] Tilden, they're not interested.

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

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

Words and action in movies are the spirit or the mind. And these days the body is almost completely forgotten. In the beginning the body - nature - was more part of the action.

A story should have a beginning, a middle and an end, but not necessarily in that order.
