Films Can Only Be Made By By-passing

Nothing More Inelegant And Ineffective Than An Art Conceived In Another Art's Form.

The Crude Real Will Not By Itself Yield Truth.

The True Is Inimitable, The False Untransformable.

My Movie Is Born First In My Head, Dies On Paper; Is Resuscitated By The Living Persons And Real Objects I Use, Which Are Killed On Film But, Placed In A Certain Order And Projected On To A Screen, Come To Life Again Like Flowers In Water.

An Old Thing Becomes New If You Detach It From What Usually Surrounds It.
