I know what I'm talking about and I've never been over budget, in 70 films.

You should bear in mind that almost all my documentaries are feature films in disguise.

With actors, normally I don't like to have any conversation about background and about motivations and all this.

Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity. It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world.

I travel without barely any luggage. Just a second set of underwear and binoculars and a map and a toothbrush.

When I see a face, I see a face in general and I see you are curious, I see the curiosity but I don't not look after a dermatological report of your cheeks, and that's what you see when you're too high-resolution. And now desperately in post-production, in color grading, they are trying to wipe out the precision of the dermatological report.

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.
