Each role demands the right actor. To play an artist, one must be an artist.

I don't want actors to know anything. The more they are lost, the better they play.

To retain his dignity, an artist must live in opposition. He must be critical of his country. If not, then he is worthless.

For working with non-professional actors, you have to have this particular desire to work with people who are reluctant to play in a movie. I like this relationship. I'm like a recruiter, an employment agency giving someone employment.

An actor is an instrument. One needs to control them.

Matching character and actor is what a good director does.
