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

I dislike judging myself, but I will say I would be wealthy today if I had accepted all the films that have been offered to me with large sums of money. But I've always refused, in order to do what I felt like doing.

I forget about the relationship between myself and any actress when working with her.

Often to understand, we have to look into emptiness.

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.

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

Everyone has understood me in his own way. But I would have to understand myself first in order to judge - and so far, I haven't.
