You know what I would like to do: make a film with actors standing in empty space so that the spectator would have to imagine the background of the characters.

One of the problems of the future world will be the use of leisure time. How will it be filled up? Maybe drugs will be distributed free of charge by the government.

There can be no censorship better than one's own conscience.

In any case, the idea of giving "all" of reality is overly simple and absurd.

All I know is that we are loaded down with old and stale stuff - habits, customs, old attitudes already dead and gone.

The family today counts for less and less. Why? Who knows - the growth of science, the Cold War, the atomic bomb, the world war we've made, the new philosophies we've created; certainly something is happening to man, so why go against it, why oblige this new man to live by the mechanisms and regulations of the past?

The greatest danger for those working in the cinema is the extraordinary possibility it offers for lying.
