The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.
I am nowhere. You can call me the man in the middle.

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