It is boring to have all the answers. Only political people have answers.

I'm interested in seeing films that confront me with new things, with films that make me question myself, with films that help me to reflect on subjects that I hadn't thought about before, films that help me progress and advance.

I'm not really a happy person. It's a question of temperament. I have a tendency toward melancholy. You can feel quite happily melancholic.

Of course, we avoid death. To know something is inevitable is one thing. To accept, to truly feel it... that's different.

When you create a church, an institution, and you create a dogma. When you create an ideology, that's the danger. Communism, too, is a beautiful idea, but millions of people died when communism became an ideology.

I consider all my films an experiment, at least in my mind.

Usually music is used to hide a film's problems.
