Cinema gives you the opportunity to be both a grandparent and a grandchild whereas in life you cannot be both at the same time.

Good cinema is what we can believe, and bad cinema is what we can't believe.

Poetry always runs away from you - it's very difficult to grasp it, and every time you read it, depending on your conditions, you will have a different grasp of it. Whereas with a novel, once you have read it, you have grasped it.

Cinema seats make people lazy. They expect to be given all the information. But for me, question marks are the punctuation of life.

I spend a lot of time doing carpentry. Sometimes there is nothing that gives me the contentment that sawing a piece of wood does.

This is a real problem because people are interested to watch more movies but there is no opportunity.
