Men talk about art, and artists make art, but should artists talk?

When I was 16 I discovered this island called cinema and I thought: 'Oh how wonderful, I'm ready.

I thank Henry James for the scene in the hotel room, that I stole from Portrait Of A Lady… This particular scene is the most beautiful scene ever written.

It's incredible how much cinema can do. We forget.

I care about cinema even though I haven't made many films.

The film is therefore a form of science fiction, in which humans, beasts and machines are on the verge of extinction - 'sacred motors' linked together by a common fate and solidarity, slaves to an increasingly virtual world. A world from which visible machines, real experiences and actions are gradually disappearing.

Cinema is a territory. It exists outside of movies. It's a place I live in. It's a way of seeing things, of experiencing life. But making films, that's supposed to be a profession.
