I passionately hate the idea of being with it; I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.

I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.

I hate women, hate them generally, not in particular but in an abstract way. I hate them because one never really learns anything about them. They are inscrutable.

If there hadn't been women we'd still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.

I've spent most of my mature life trying to prove that I'm not irresponsible.

A director is someone who presides over a series of accidents.

Create your own visual style... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.
