I Rarely Feel The Desire To Reread A Scene The Day Before The Shooting. Sometimes I Arrive At The Place Where The Work Is To Be Done And I Do Not Even Know What I Am Going To Shoot. This Is The System I Prefer: To Arrive At The Moment When Shooting Is About To Begin, Absolutely Unprepared, Virgin. I Often Ask To Be Left Alone On The Spot For Fifteen Minutes Or Half An Hour And I Let My Thoughts Wander Freely.

It Isn't Easy To Understand The Lives Of People Different From Your Own.

Reality Itself Is Steadily Becoming More Colored. Think Of What Factories Were Like, Especially In Italy At The Beginning Of The 19th Century, When Industrialization Was Just Beginning: Gray, Brown And Smoky. Color Didn't Exist. Today, Instead, Most Everything Is Colored. The Pipe Running From The Basement To The 12th Floor Is Green Because It Carries Steam. The One Carrying Electricity Is Red, And That With Water Is Purple. Also, Plastic Colors Have Filled Our Homes, Even Revolutionized Our Taste. Pop Art Grew Out Of That And Was Possible Because Of This Change In Taste.

Life Should Be Taken Ironically; Otherwise, It Becomes A Tragedy.
