Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.

Shoot a few scenes out of focus. I want to win the foreign film award.

A film is a petrified fountain of thought.

I don't take the movies seriously, and anyone who does is in for a headache.

Why should people go out and pay money to see bad films when they can stay at home and see bad television for nothing?

Every great film should seem new every time you see it.

Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.

Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.

I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.

The secret to film is that it's an illusion.
