In film, you can't go into analytical explorations because the audience will reject that.

I am very interested in what has been called bad taste. I believe the fear of displaying a soi-disant bad taste stops us from venturing into special cultural zones.

I think cinema is closer to allegories than to reality. It's closer to our dreams.

I believe in characters as vehicles of exposition. Their voices are full of hidden clues, and I like to listen to them.

I don't want to name names, but the least I can say about rock and roll is that I'm suspicious.

I would very much like to become a best-selling author.

Most of the movies I saw growing up were viewed as totally disposable, fine for quick consumption, but they have survived 50 years and are still growing.
