I meant exactly what I said: that we are saddled with a culture that hasn't advanced as far as science.

I can't imagine love without a sexual charge.

The script is simply a series of notes for the film.

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

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.

Nothing regarding man is ever inhuman. That's why I make films, not iceboxes.

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.
