Bernardo Bertolucci

I lived in a kind of dream of communism. ”

I don't think you can in any way export culture with guns or tanks. ”

If you mention any ideological thing about shooting 'Last Tango in Paris,' I was thinking I was doing a political film. ”

I started very, very young to make movies - I was 21. And at the age of 27, 28, I'd done already three movies. ”

I think that I used to love Hollywood movies. I remember great phases and moments. But, unfortunately, now is not the moment. ”

There's no more film; now everything's digital. I welcome this. It's fantastic for me to have a new chance. ”

To explore technology for me is something that I have to do. Otherwise, I feel completely left in the back... abandoned. ”

I haven't made a movie for a while, but I've watched a lot. It's my major waste of time. I like to work, but also to be waiting for work. ”

I don't see my movies. When you ask me about one of my movies, it just goes in my memory because maybe sometimes I confuse one for another. I think all movies are like sequences, which is the body of my work. ”

I like being able to see an innocence in people. I see a lot of beauty in youth. Young people are in progress. Their faces and bodies and minds are constantly changing. It's exciting to capture that on film. ”
