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

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

It's untrue to say the colors I use are not those of reality. They are real: The red I use is red; the green, green; blue, blue; and yellow, yellow. It's a matter of arranging them differently from the way I find them, but they are always real colors. So it's not true that when I tint a road or a wall, they become unreal. They stay real, though colored differently for my scene.

My films always leave me unsatisfied, since I've always worked under fairly disastrous conditions economically.

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

It isn't easy to understand the lives of people different from your own.

My work is like digging, it's archaeological research among the arid materials of our times. That's how I understand my first films, and that's what I'm still doing...
