If you have made three or four films, my feeling is, he is older than me because I am still making my first movie. That helps me.

In films, we are trained by the American way of moviemaking to think we must understand and 'get' everything right away. But this is not possible. When you eat a potato, you don't understand each atom of the potato!

Movies are a world of Fragments.

The cinema is truth 24 frames-per-second.

This is not a just image, this is just an image.

I like the idea of making films about ostensibly absolutely nothing. I like the irrelevant, the tangential, the sidebar excursion to nowhere that suddenly becomes revelatory. That's what all my movies are about. That and the idea that we're in possession of certainty, truth, infallible knowledge, when actually we're just a bunch of apes running around. My films are about people who think they're connected to something, although they're really not.

When there's 100 people around you can't really forget yourself.
