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

I sometimes cry in the moments that are not necessarily dramatic or tragic in the films, often because of the music. I wonder whether it's the music that has that effect on you in this film.

I don't think that there would be more users if drugs were legalized.

If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.

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

I never made a film which fully satisfied me.

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.
