I was looking for people who didn't have any preconceptions about films, what I call the "post-rules" generation.

All the animals come out at night.

Don't ever let the viewer settle in and get ahead of you.

One of the things that I do like about filmmaking is that you find out how to solve new problems.

The clock is impotent; mechanical time does not affect those living in an eternal present.

Let's just shoot in black and white. Don't explain why. Have no reason for it. Just do it because it's interesting.

Now I see it clearly. My whole life has pointed in one direction. I see that now. There never has been any choice for me.
