I Can't Imagine Love Without

A Particular Type Of Film Emerged From World War Two, With The Italian Neorealist School. It Was Perfectly Right For Its Time, Which Was As Exceptional As The Reality Around Us. Our Major Interest Focused On That And On How We Could Relate To It. Later, When The Situation Normalized And Post-war Life Returned To What It Had Been In Peacetime, It Became Important To See The Intimate, Interior Consequences Of All That Had Happened.

It's Obvious That I Must Explain What I Want From An Actor, But I Don't Want To Discuss Everything I Ask Him To Do, Because Often My Requests Are Completely Instinctive And There Are Things I Can't Explain. It's Like Painting: You Don't Know Why You Use Pink Instead Of Blue. You Simply Feel That's How It Should Be - Pink. Then The Phone Rings And You Answer It. When You Come Back, You Don't Want Pink Anymore And You Use Blue - Without Knowing Why. You Can't Help It; That's Just The Way It Is.

When I Am Shooting A Film I Never Think Of How I Want To Shoot Something; I Simply Shoot It.

I Don't Know Whether I Am Ever Bored. I Never Look At Myself.
