Violence is not the only means of persuasion.

I am neither a sociologist nor a politician. All I can do is imagine for myself what the future will be like.

When I am shooting a film I never think of how I want to shoot something; I simply shoot it.

I've never had a method of working. I change according to circumstances; I don't employ any particular technique or style. I make films instinctively, more with my belly than with my brain.

When I see a good film, it's like a whiplash. I run away, in order not to be influenced. Thus, the films I liked most are those I think least about.

Women are a finer filter of reality. They can sniff things.

Often to understand, we have to look into emptiness.
