The anger and the creativity are so closely intertwined with me, and there's plenty of anger left.

Aging is not uncomplicated. Creativity is an extraordinary help against destructive demons.

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

The only thing I consider appalling would be to suddenly become a vegetable and a burden on other people. A soul slowly dying out, trapped in a body in which the insides gradually sabotage me - that, I think, would be terrifying.

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.

I'm very, very lazy. I love to sit in a chair and look out the window and do nothing.
