There’s nothing better than discovering, to your own astonishment, what you’re meant to do. It’s like falling in love.

In making movies, time is so short-because it is so expensive-that we tend to neglect the place from which the best ideas come, namely that part of ourselves that dreams. The unconscious is our best collaborator.

There’s nothing better than discovering, to your own astonishment, what you’re meant to do. It’s like falling in love.

Any good movie is filled with secrets.

I came to love silence, because it's so rare, and it's now my favorite aural condition.

The only safe thing is to take a chance. Play safe and you are dead. Taking risks is the essence of good work, and the difference between safe and bold can only be defined by yourself since no one else knows for what you are hoping when you embark on anything.

A movie is like a person. Either you trust it or you don't.
