The faculty of using my resources well diminishes when their number grows.

Let nothing be changed and all be different.

To create is not to deform or invent persons and things. It is to tie new relationships between persons and things which are, and as they are.

Cinema, radio, television, magazines are a school of inattention: people look without seeing, listen in without hearing.

For me, film-making is combining images and sounds of real things in an order that makes them effective. What I disapprove of is photographing things that are not real. Sets and actors are not real.

The point is not to direct someone, but to direct oneself.

Cinematography is a writing with images in mouvement and with sounds.
