I like chance meetings - life is full of them. Every day, without realising it, I pass people whom I should know.

That's the greatest sin a director can commit; to make a film simply because he wants to make a film.

There are mysteries, secret zones in each individual.

Of course I'd like to get beyond the concrete. But it's really difficult. Very difficult.

For me optimism is two lovers walking into the sunset arm in arm. Or maybe into the sunrise - whatever appeals to you.

I like chance meetings--life is full of them. Everyday, without realizing it, I pass people whom I should know. At this moment, in this cafe, we're sitting next to strangers. Everyone will get up, leave, and go on their own way. And they'll never meet again. And if they do, they won't realize that it's not for the first time.
