I love mirrors. They let one pass through the surface of things.

I am a Communist, certainly, but that doesn't mean I have to make films about the wheat harvest.

I wanted to make a film about stupid people that was very vulgar and deeply stupid. From that moment on I can hardly be reproached for making a film that is about stupid people.

I remember an article, I can't recall who by, it was after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which said that now the Wall was down, there could be no more class war. Only someone with money could ever say such a thing.

I'm a sweet eater. I love lemon pie and sweet potato pie.

The world is full of fools, and he who would not see it should live alone and smash his mirror.
