I usually want to crawl into the ground after I make a film, almost invariably.

I feel that life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. That's the two categories. The horrible are like, I don't know, terminal cases, you know, and blind people, crippled. I don't know how they get through life. It's amazing to me. And the miserable is everyone else. So you should be thankful that you're miserable, because that's very lucky, to be miserable.

After 60, all of us belong to the weaker sex.

In short, the best thing to do is behave in a manner befitting one's age. If you are sixteen or under, try not to go bald.

I had a terrible education. I attended a school for emotionally disturbed teachers.

Ninety percent of life is just showing up.

Better not think too much. Relying more on the body: it is more trustworthy.
