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.

Why must one talk? Often one shouldn't talk, but live in silence. The more one talks, the less the words mean. (Nana Kleinfrankenheim, Vivre Sa Vie)

Objects exist and if one pays more attention to them than to people, it is precisely because they exist more than the people. Dead objects are still alive. Living people are often already dead.

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

The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.

The cinema substitutes for our gaze a world more in harmony with our desires.

Mirrors should reflect before sending an image.
