If an actor knows how to milk a cow, I always know it will not be difficult to be in business with him.

I cannot work fast enough. I cannot cope fast enough, really. And just releasing a film is hard.

Do you not then hear this horrible scream all around you that people usually call silence.

We do not see the danger clearly enough that we develop images adequate to our state of civilization. When you watch TV, you know instantly that there's something wrong with the images. When you open a magazine and see the ads, you know there's something wrong with the images. And it's unhealthy and not good and outright dangerous, in my opinion.

The danger is to stupidly believe that depicting facts gives us much insight. If facts were the only thing that counted, the telephone directory would be the book of books.

Hold firm to your vision but don't be a tyrant on set.

Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film.
