I'm not a tacky person, I think.

I think a film noir demands a beginning and an end.

When I was a child I had a nightmare, and in the morning, I asked my mother and father, 'If I kill someone, would you still love me?' My parents were very preoccupied with this, but I think I'm not the only one to ask for that - not love, but absolute fidelity.

I am not at all interested in theories about cinema. I am only interested in images and people and sound. I am really a very simple person.

I think a good director is a good listener.

What I don't like so much is to give explanations about people's behaviour... I'm not interested in making conclusions. I would never think about myself or anyone else, 'Well, this happened, this happened, this happened, so this must be the result.' It doesn't work like that with me.
