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

You have to continue and discover the grammar of things, of what we can see.

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

When you go to the cinema you look up, when you watch television you look down.

I am nowhere. You can call me the man in the middle.

In films, we are trained by the American way of moviemaking to think we must understand and 'get' everything right away. But this is not possible. When you eat a potato, you don't understand each atom of the potato!

I write and film history; I don't make it.
