The secret ingredient to sex is love.

A film should be like a rock in the shoe.

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?"

I would say that I am a poor Christian; I'm not a believer. It was this idea very early in my life that life on Earth, nature or man could not be a creation of a merciful God.

When I was in film school, it was said that all good films were characterised by some form of humour.

It's always been a lie that it's difficult to make films.

I like gardening. I'm really a nature man. I spend as much time as I can in nature. I feel really safe there.
