I want people to go to the movies. I am the man of the spectacle. I'm playing.

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

I like skiing, among other things, because I have moments when I am alone in the mountains. That's fantastic, when there's nobody around you. You see miles around you, and the sun is almost down .

I want people to go to the movies. I am the man of the spectacle. I'm playing.

My films are the expression of momentary desires. I follow my instincts, but in a disciplined way.

I admire actors for their infinite patience. That's why they need all those trailers and all their crowd of people who pamper them. But it is a drag to get up sometimes at 4:30 in the morning and get into makeup, and wait forever until they call you onto the set.
