I am crazy about my own films. The films I've just made I'm crazy about them. But then I don't see them for many years. It's like when you get a new child you're very crazy about this child but then after a few years you're like, "what was its name again?"

That's the great thing about entering a convent: There are things that you simply can't do, so you don't have to worry about them

I am the best film director in the world.

Basically, I'm afraid of everything in life, except filmmaking.

I can't tell you why I choose stuff, it's really something I don't analyse. The only thing I can say is that a film has to demand to be made, I don't have a plan of what films I'm going to make. The only thing that I know now is that I'm not too crazy about doing things again that I've been into before.

I think that limitations are the most important part of any art form

I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology.
