I'm not rich and maybe I'll never be rich. Money is useful - yes - but I don't worship it.

The script is simply a series of notes for the film.

I'm more or less skeptical about marriage, because of family ties, relations between children and parents - it's all so depressing.

Normally, however, I try to avoid repetitions of any shot.

A scene has to have a rhythm of its own, a structure of its own.

It's untrue to say the colors I use are not those of reality. They are real: The red I use is red; the green, green; blue, blue; and yellow, yellow. It's a matter of arranging them differently from the way I find them, but they are always real colors. So it's not true that when I tint a road or a wall, they become unreal. They stay real, though colored differently for my scene.

The moment always comes when, having collected one's ideas, certain images, an intuition of a certain kind of development- whether psychological or material- one must pass on to the actual realization.
