Everyone has his reasons.

The awful thing about life is this: everyone has their reasons.

I believe that perfection handicaps cinema.

The saving grace of the cinema is that with patience, and a little love, we may arrive at that wonderfully complex creature which is called man.

A film director is not a creator, but a midwife. His business is to deliver the actor of a child that he did not know he had inside him.

I am against great themes and great subjects... You can't film an idea. The camera is an instrument for recording physical impact.

The real hell of life is that everyone has his reasons.
