I've always considered the French-speaking part of Switzerland as a province of France.

There is a problem in pretending I can still control my destiny in the commercial market.

I don't like Paris or being in big cities.

People like to say, 'What do you mean exactly?' I would answer, 'I mean, but not exactly.'

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.

When you go to the cinema you look up, when you watch television you look down.

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