I Believe In The Autobiographical Concept Only

I Think People Talk Too Much; That's The Truth Of The Matter. I Do. I Don't Believe In Words. People Use Too Many Words And Usually Wrongly. I Am Sure That In The Distant Future People Will Talk Much Less And In A More Essential Way. If People Talk A Lot Less, They Will Be Happier. Don't Ask Me Why.

My Films Have Always Had An Element Of Immediate Autobiography, In That I Shoot Any Particular Scene According To The Mood I'm In That Day, According To The Little Daily Experiences I've Had And Am Having - But I Don't Tell What Has Happened To Me. I Would Like To Do Something More Strictly Autobiographical, But Perhaps I Never Will, Because It Isn't Interesting Enough.

A Film You Can Explain In Words Is Not A Real Film.

The Family Today Counts For Less And Less. Why? Who Knows - The Growth Of Science, The Cold War, The Atomic Bomb, The World War We've Made, The New Philosophies We've Created; Certainly Something Is Happening To Man, So Why Go Against It, Why Oblige This New Man To Live By The Mechanisms And Regulations Of The Past?

I May Film Scenes I Had No Intention Of Filming; Things Suggest Themselves On Location, And We Improvise. I Try Not To Think About It Too Much. Then, In The Cutting Room, I Take The Film And Start To Put It Together, And Only Then Do I Begin To Get An Idea Of What It Is About.
