I never read Karl Marx.

In the beginning there was not even talking. In movies, there was no need for that. Because it was more evident if there was no talking. Only in sports does there remain this fervor, which can even become violent. There's this desire to see something big.

When we talked, I talked about me, you talked about you, when we should have talked about each other.

Something that I like in movies, and I dislike too, is that they can't be projected well.

Film begins with DW Griffith and ends with Abbas Kiarostami.

The truth is that there is no terror untempered by some great moral idea.

I've always said that to make movies, to make images and sound, is possible by one way or another. And it has not to be ruled by the Pharaohs of Egypt, the Pharaohs from Hollywood or wherever. I have tried very hard to make even a small budget picture here. It always fails. Over a dozen times. And now I know why. It was only because I wanted to be in control of the money. To spend it the way I wanted.
