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.

The fact is that, unless you are very good, most first movies are too long, and you lose your rhythm and your audience over two or three hours.

Killing a man in defense of an idea is not defending an idea; it is killing a man.

We are losing our own capacity because we are poisoned in one way or another.

On TV you can't show landscapes. You just can't. Even a postcard is better.

When you photograph a face . . .you photograph the soul behind it.

Projection will disappear. And the possibility that was given by motion pictures will be missed. The possibility of there being a real audience - a group of people who have nothing in common, but, at a certain time of the day or the week, are able to look with other nknown neighbors at something bigger than they are. To look at their problems in big. Not in small.
