One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.

Now at my age I understand how sad it must have been for some directors or actors at the time the talkies began. Because, really, a whole continent disappeared.

In movies, comedy and tragedy are all the same.

People in life quote as they please, so we have the right to quote as we please. Therefore I show people quoting, merely making sure that they quote what pleases me

We once believed we were auteurs but we weren't. We had no idea, really. Film is over. It's sad nobody is really exploring it. But what to do? And anyway, with mobile phones and everything, everyone is now an auteur.

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

When I go in front of the light - go towards it - it is because it brings me energy. That's all.
