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

I forget about the relationship between myself and any actress when working with her.

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

I believe in the autobiographical concept only to the degree that I am able to put onto film all that's passing through my head at the moment of shooting.

I simply know what the actor's attitude should be and what he should say. He doesn't, because he can't see the relationship that begins to exist between his body and the other things in the scene.

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

A woman's sex appeal is an inner matter. It stems from her mental make-up, basically. It's an attitude, not just a question of her physical features - that arrogant quality in a woman's femininity. Otherwise, all beautiful women would have sex appeal, which is not so.
