I don't rehash the past. It's my baggage. That's all. I accept things as they are.

The torches ran off, and I found myself in a forest, at night, without any light, on skis, and that was not fun - particularly because I was drunk. Luckily at some point I started to see the light of the ski lift. To be in the forest in the middle of the night, it's terrible.

I never made a film which fully satisfied me.

It's very important to set your place in a concrete environment. I think Chekhov said that the important thing when you have a play or any kind of novel is to set the roots in a concrete place.

I simply think there's life after movies. I have to adhere to this philosophy, and therefore I like other things, and I have other passions. None are as big as movie-making, but they exist.

The whole showmanship is NOT to answer every question.

Every failure made me more confident. Because I wanted even more to achieve as revenge, to show that I could.
