When People Are Very Original,

I Don't Want To Compare Myself To Him - I Don't Want People To See Me As This Great Genius - But When I See Charlie Chaplin's Movies There Is A Combination Of Drama, Naivety And Social Meaning That I Can See In Myself, At A Different Level.

I Think Some People Feel That If You Are Going To Have 3d, Then You Have To Shoot In 3d, But They Shoot 3d, So Of Course They're Going To Say 'my Way Of Doing A Film Is Better.' I'm Not Telling Anyone How They Should Do Their Film, So Why Should Anyone Tell Me How I Should Do Mine?

Perhaps My Favourite Story Is 'le Passe-muraille' By Marcel Ayme. It's About A Guy Who Wakes Up With A Weird Faculty That Means He Can Walk Through Walls. He's A Very Shy Clerk, And He Uses It To Get Revenge, Or Vent His Frustration.

I Think The Purpose Of Test Screenings Is Different For The Studio And For The Filmmaker. For The Studio, I Think They Want To Know Whether The Film Works Or Not.

I Don't Mock Things, Which Makes Me More Vulnerable To Mockery Myself. If You're Cynical, You're Protected From Mockery. But I Have To Be Nice. I Don't Think I Have Irony. A Sense Of Humour, Yes, But Not Irony.
