In my opinion, there are two things that can absolutely not be carried to the screen: the realistic presentation of the sexual act and praying to God.

I love moving around from town to town. I never got on a train in my life without my spirits rising.

You could write all the IDEAS of all the movies, my own included, on the head of a pin.

If you've noticed that I don't use long takes, it's not because I don't like them, but because no one gives me the necessary means to treat myself to them. It's more economical to make one image, then this image and then that image, and try to control them later, in the editing studio.
