I don't want what I am saying to sound like a prophecy or anything like an analysis of modern society .... these are only feelings I have, and I am the least speculative man on earth.

Till now I have never shot a scene without taking account of what stands behind the actors because the relationship between people and their surroundings is of prime importance.

People are always misquoting me.

A man who renounces something is also a man who believes in something.

The way I relax, what I like doing most, is watching. That's why I like traveling, to have new things before my eyes - even a new face. I enjoy myself like that and can stay for hours, looking at things, people, scenery.

If an actor tries to understand too much, he will act in an intellectual and unnatural manner.

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