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

I don't know whether I am ever bored. I never look at myself.

Sometimes actors' mistakes give me ideas I can use, because mistakes are always sincere, absolutely sincere.

Method actors are absolutely terrible. They want to direct themselves, and it's a disaster.

Violence is not the only means of persuasion.

Before each new setup, I chase everyone off the set in order to be alone and look through the camera. In that moment, the film seems quite easy. But then the others come in and everything becomes difficult.

Everyone has understood me in his own way. But I would have to understand myself first in order to judge - and so far, I haven't.
