Photographs put time into such a perspective. They humble us and our selfish memories.

I remember that even my first impression of Italian cinema was pictures by paparazzi because my mom was reading all of these trash magazines with paparazzo pictures.

Loving photography and wanting to be a painter, it all ended up in the process of filmmaking. It's strange professionally be to connected because it connects you to architecture, it connects you to painting, it connects you to writers, to actors. It connects you to really all of the arts.

In books they don't have deleted scenes, like with DVDs. You could have your deleted scene in a book as well!

I think seeing happens partly through the eyes, but not entirely.

If you travel a lot, if you like roaming about in order to lose yourself, you can end up in the strangest places. I think it must be a kind of built-in radar, which often takes me to places that are either peculiarly quiet or peculiar in a quiet sort of way.

Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.
