The Script Is Simply A

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.

A Man Who Renounces Something Is Also A Man Who Believes In Something.

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.

I'm Not Rich And Maybe I'll Never Be Rich. Money Is Useful - Yes - But I Don't Worship It.
