Making a movie is casting a spell.

Lucifer is the patron saint of the visual arts. Color, form - all these are the work of Lucifer.

I think it's basically quite different from dreams. If only cinema was that easy. Because dreams, all you have to do is fall asleep, and you can have fantastic vision. I know Baudelaire and people like that enhance their dreams with opium or something. But films are very constructed - they're like architecture. They're pieced together, glued together. To me, it's a craft. It's like making a tapestry.

I've made several films that haven't been shown.

If you are a member of the media, you belong to the public. You've made that Faustian bargain with your public. Take me – all of me – I'm yours.

I think people dream in their own way, dreams are extremely personal, even from person to person. They are completely individual.
