I don't like actors, I like women.

People talk about making art films - experimental films. I can make an art film every day of the week. Nothing to it. What's difficult is to combine a commercial film with art.

I don't make deals, I make pictures.

There is no sense in making a film that no-one will go and see, just to create a perfect, but useless, work of art.

Actors don't need a lot of talk beyond the first few sentences. They may say they don't draw on their own life, but all actors do.

Elegance is very dangerous. It's like TNT. A little goes a long way.
