I am less instinctive as I try to be more professional - about the music, about the sound.

The film of tomorrow will not be directed by civil servants of the camera, but by artists for whom shooting a film constitutes a wonderful and thrilling adventure.

I've always had the impression that real militants are like cleaning women, doing a thankless, daily but necessary job.

I want my audience to be constantly captivated, bewitched, so that it leaves the theatre dazed, stunned to be back on the pavement.

It's real difficult to save when you don't have any money.

I don't spend any time at all thinking about my personal wealth. I suppose if I had nothing, I might think, 'I have nothing.'

I believe - we all pay taxes. I'm happy to pay it, but I hate to have it abused, money wasted, no accountability. That's going to bother you.

The thing that fascinates me is that the way I came to film and television is extinct. Then there were gatekeepers, it was prohibitively expensive to make a film, to be a director you had to be an entrepreneur to raise money.
