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

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 think that there would be more users if drugs were legalized.

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

When I really love a movie, I don't want to spoil it by too frequent visits. But I like to come back to certain films, which I admire.

I can only say that whatever my life and work have been, I'm not envious of anyone - and this is my biggest satisfaction.

The whole showmanship is NOT to answer every question.
