I have an unfortunate personality.

I'm a provincial. I live very much like a hermit: reading, listening to music, working in the cutting room, writing, commercial work - which doesn't take up that much time.

Anybody who speaks quietly and shrivels up in company is unbelievably arrogant.

I have made an art form of the interview. The French are the best interviewers, despite their addiction to the triad, like all Cartesians.

I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.

I dont believe in learning from other peoples pictures. I think you should learn from your own interior vision of things and discover, as I say, Innocently, as though there had never been anybody.

Everything bad that has ever happened to me has been caused by agents or lawyers.
