If There Were A Little

I Don't Believe In Total Freedom For The Artist. Left On His Own, Free To Do Anything He Likes, The Artist Ends Up Doing Nothing At All. If There's One Thing That's Dangerous For An Artist, It's Precisely This Question Of Total Freedom, Waiting For Inspiration And All The Rest Of It.

A Different Language Is A Different Vision Of Life.

As I Don't Consider Myself Exceptional, But Simply A Storyteller, Each Of My Stories Is Really A Period Of My Life. Deep Down I Feel That Criticism Of My Work-which Is The Most Sincere And Authentic Vision Of Myself-is Unsuitable And Immodest, Whether It Is Favorable Or Unfavorable.

Every Time I Start A Picture ... I Feel The Same Fear, The Same Self-doubts . . . And I Have Only One Source On Which I Can Draw, Because It Comes From Within Me.

A Good Opening And A Good Ending Make For A Good Film Provided They Come Close Together.
