Some experience is helpful. "The Pianist" was a film that I could make with my eyes closed because I had lived it and everything was still alive in me.
I don't rehash the past. It's my baggage. That's all. I accept things as they are.
With each film, i need an artistic challenge so I don't get bored! I like to tackle challenges.
Cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theater.
The best films are because of nobody but the director.
If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
