I'm never really nervous because I've done the maximum; now it's up to the audience to do its job.

One gets used to success very quickly. The surprise was how deep and enduringly I was touching people, in such different places and throughout generations.

I never seem to be able to sell my films correctly in the U.S. The U.S. defends itself on its own turf.

People all over the world feed upon U.S. cinema and don't know about their own.

I've never made films for children. That's why children like my films. Nobody wants to be treated as a baby.

No matter what the level of funding or success may be, there's always money missing, and you still want to have a gorgeous image, an endless cast and a flawless rendering.

I like to make people happy, and with fairy tales, I can say anything I want to, but in an agreeable way.
