Everyone Knows That Time Is Death, That

Realism Is A Bad Word. In A Sense Everything Is Realistic. I See No Line Between The Imaginary And The Real.

I’m Just A Storyteller, And The Cinema Happens To Be My Medium. I Like It Because It Recreates Life In Movement, Enlarges It, Enhances It, Distills It. For Me, It’s Far Closer To The Miraculous Creation Of Life Than, Say, A Painting Or Music Or Even Literature. It’s Not Just An Art Form; It’s Actually A New Form Of Life, With Its Own Rhythms, Cadences, Perspectives And Transparencies. It’s My Way Of Telling A Story.

You See Me In My Most Virile Moment When You See Me Doing What I Do. When I Am Directing, A Special Energy Comes Upon Me. ... It Is Only When I Am Doing My Work That I Feel Truly Alive. It Is Like Having Sex.

Experience Is What You Get While Looking For Something Else.

Even The Most Miserable Life Is Better Than A Sheltered Existence In An Organized Society Where Everything Is Calculated And Perfected.
