I Believe There's Only Good Cinema And

The Fact Of Having This Very New Context, This Unheard-of Way Of Working, For Me Was Very Pleasant. I Didn't Feel That I Was Working, That I Had Any Kind Of Burden To Wear, To Carry. I Really Was Very Happy And Very Lighthearted During The Whole Process Of Making The Film [certified Copy], Of Shooting It.

When I'm In The Process Of Making A Movie I'm Not Thinking About The Finished Result, And Whether People Have To See It Once Or More Than Once, And What The Reaction To It Will Be. I Just Make It, And Then I Live With The Consequences, Some Of Which May Not Be As Pleasant As I'd Like! I Know One Thing, However. Many Viewers May Come Out Of The Theater Not Satisfied, But They Won't Be Able To Forget The Movie. I Know They'll Be Talking About It During Their Next Dinner. I Want Them To Be A Little Restless About My Movies, And Keep Trying To Find Something In Them.

When I Talk To Some Of The Younger Filmmakers, They Are So Worried About Their Films That, Eventually, This State Of Being Worried Reflects Itself In And Helps The Final Work. Whereas, With Projects That Are Meticulously Planned, You Look At The End Result And It Is Full Of Emptiness.

I Think Violence Can Never Be Justified. At The Same Time, Nobody’s Culture Or Beliefs Should Be Insulted, That’s Not Something I Can Accept Either. But I Cannot Justify Or Accept Any Violence At All.

In My Mind, There Isn't As Much Of A Distinction Between Documentary And Fiction As There Is Between A Good Movie And A Bad One.
