I believe the life of every person is worthy of scrutiny, containing its own secrets and dramas.
Krzysztof KieslowskiI have one good characteristic: I'm a pessimist, so I always imagine the worst - always. To me, the future is a black hole.
Krzysztof KieslowskiYou have to want to make a film for other reasons - to say something, to tell a story, to show somebody's fate - but you can't want to make a film simply for the sake of it.
Krzysztof KieslowskiReal artists find answers. The knowledge of the artisan is within the confines of his skills. For example, I know a lot about lenses, about the editing room. I know what the different buttons on the camera are for. I know more or less how to use a microphone. I know all that, but that's not real knowledge. Real knowledge is knowing how to live, why we live, things like that.
