I believe realism is nothing but an analysis of reality. Film scripts have a synthetical constitution.

Contrary to what Kafka does, I always like to refer all of my fictions to the level of reality, He, on the other hand, leaves them at an imaginary level.

I've always wondered why there isn't a great French novel about the German occupation. The nouveau roman authors weren't interested in telling that sort of thing.

I believe that people who don't achieve anything in life are isolated and resent those that are successful.

I felt the need to tell stories to understand myself.

I don't think humor is forced upon my universe; it's a part of it.

If a spectator with a philosophical mind, somebody accustomed to reading books, gets the same kind of information in a movie, he might not fully understand it.
