The best photographers are super nice people and that its not a coincidence. Great photographers genuinely like people, and people can feel that. That's what makes people feel comfortable. It is important to appear confident with clients, but it is more important to not be afraid to act like a fool, have fun, laugh and shake your hips to get people comfortable.

I think that men of my generation - not me in particular - are among the most fortunate men in the universe.

When I go to the cinema, I'm often frustrated because I can guess exactly what is going to happen about ten minutes into the screening. So, when I'm working on a subject, I'm always looking for the element of surprise.

There was also the myth of the western films. But my films are borrowed not from the story of the West in America but from the story of cinema.

We're talking a very cultivated people, but I found as cultivated as they were, they were uninformed about the personages who weren't American. They knew everything about America, but much less about other countries.

My life, my reading, everything about me revolves around the cinema. So for me, cinema is life, and vice-versa.
