You have to protect yourself, your body, your being. You cannot treat it badly; you have to keep it, make as sensitive as possible

I didn't choose solitude.

About 25 years ago, I was in an apartment, and next door, they put on the radio, so I struck the wall with my fist, but they did not put the radio down. I took a tool and banged until I made a hole through the wall. It was like a comedy movie.

Why do I continue making movies? Making movies is better than cleaning toilets.

When you are there, you are. With words, you aren't.

The ultimate acting is to destroy yourself.

I am dying of hunger.
