In believing too much in rationality, our contemporaries have lost something.

There are mysteries, secret zones in each individual.

The realm of superstitions, fortune-telling, presentiments, intuition, dreams, all this is the inner life of a human being, and all this is the hardest thing to film.

Documentaries deal with people who live real, everyday lives. But if these people trusted us and told us the truth about their lives, it could be used against them - which sometimes happened.

Maybe it is worth investigating the unknown, if only because the very feeling of not knowing is a painful one.

You 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.

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