In America, people rarely stay in the town where they grew up, rarely stay in close proximity to their parents throughout their lives. You rarely find parents in their old age being taken care of by their children.

My education was an education by movies.

The greatest style is when you can't see the style though you walk away knowing it was there. It's like a perfume - there but not there.

My next film is always shaped by the last one... by the things I feel I didn't get right, or the things I like and want to try to develop further, but it always comes out of the last picture.

Beauty doesn't have anything to do with prettiness. Beauty has to do with something else; it gets into an area where words can't go.

Style is a way of talking about yourself.

Style is the most ephemeral thing I know. It's not about how effective you are it's about how you are effective.
