I have always appreciated the honest brutality of the international film world. One need never doubt one's worth in the market. Mine was zero.

Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.

I haven't put an ounce of effort into my families. I never have.

My pictures are always part of my thinking, and my emotions, tensions, dreams, desires.

I am normally afraid of birds and have never dreamt of any bird in my life.

For me, the human face is the most important subject of the cinema.
