Film begins with DW Griffith and ends with Abbas Kiarostami.

I've decided that what interests me most is that you can only capture the light at a certain time. But after that, five minutes after that, then it's a different thing. So if you don't have the right aperture, you've missed it. Of course, you can correct it in the lab. But not really.

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

Through most of my career I've made a decent living making movies no one wants to see.

Action can make you laugh. But just because you are glad. Even if there is no meaning.

TV has nothing to do with painting. It's just transmission.

When I have a low budget I always try to make it a lesson in economy.
