I don't think you can in any way export culture with guns or tanks.

I think politics is a higher build in life. You know? If you diffuse under normal, common sense of a story, you make it political. If you choose a conventional way for a story, or refuse to use the conventional way, you make it political.

If you mention any ideological thing about shooting 'Last Tango in Paris,' I was thinking I was doing a political film.

I don't see my movies. When you ask me about one of my movies, it just goes in my memory because maybe sometimes I confuse one for another. I think all movies are like sequences, which is the body of my work.

I left the ending ambiguous, because that is the way life is.

I don't see my movies. I think it's healthier and safer to keep a bit of distance. I'm afraid to be disappointed.
