The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good.

A film needs more than you can give it in a lifetime.

Everything has already been done. every story has been told every scene has been shot. it’s our job to do it one better.

I don't like doing interviews. There is always the problem of being misquoted or, what's even worse, of being quoted exactly.

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

Don't do anything. Just tolerate me and let me suffer, knowing how you feel.

You either care or you don’t.
