Too many proofs spoil the truth.

I wanted to make a cinema of ideas, not plots, and to use the same aesthetics as painting, which has always paid great attention to formal devices of structure, composition and framing.

We all know that we're going to die, but we don't know when. That's not a blessing, that's a curse.

My favourite way of watching the cinema is the biggest possible cinema you can find, with the biggest possible screen, and the loudest possible Dolby - but just me. Nobody else.

It serves the purpose of not serving a purpose, surely quite a valid one.

There are basically only two subject matters in all Western culture: sex and death. We do have some ability to manipulate sex nowadays. We have no ability, and never will have, to manipulate death.

I admit that death is not just about you, it's also about the people who love you.
