I hope my films will never completely be without the ability to mark anybody.

I am a man who likes to control things, and if I can't control them totally I will not control them at all.

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

I did a lot of strange things. But I am a bad Catholic that's for sure. Although I think it's difficult to believe in evil.

A film should be like a rock in the shoe.

Far be it from me to force anyone into either chess or dressage, but if you choose to do so yourself, in my opinion there is only one way: follow the rules.

I'm very proud of being persona non grata. I've never been that before in my life, and that suits me extremely wellI'm known for provocations, but I like provocations when they have a purpose. And this had no purpose whatsoever. Because I'm not Mel Gibson. I'm definitely not Mel Gibson.
