First there was Greek civilization. Then there was the Renaissance. Now we’re entering the Age of the Ass.

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

You can't transmit a landscape, happily enough.

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

To me style is just the outside of content, and content the inside of style, like the outside and the inside of the human body - both go together, they can't be separated.

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.
