I never feel empty. I travel a lot and I think about other films.

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.

Scientific man is already on the moon, and yet we are still living with the moral concepts of Homer.

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.

Another reason for switching to color is world television. In a few years, it will all be in color, and you can't compete against that with black-and-white films.

We live in a society that compels us to go on using these concepts, and we no longer know what they mean.

There's much talk about the problems of youth, but young people are not a problem. It's a natural evolution of things. We, who have known only how to make war and slaughter people, have no right to judge them, nor can we teach them anything.
