I Don't Know Whether I Am Ever

Do You Really Think A Man Must Be Strong, Masculine, Dominating, And The Woman Frail, Obedient And Sensitive? This Is A Conventional Idea. Reality Is Quite Different.

I Didn't Like University Life Much At Bologna. The Subjects I Studied - Economics And Business Administration - Didn't Interest Me. I Wanted To Make Films. I Was Glad When I Was Graduated. Yet It's Odd; On Graduation Day, I Was Overcome With A Terrible Sadness. I Realized That My Youth Was Over And Now The Struggle Had Begun.

Before Each New Setup, I Chase Everyone Off The Set In Order To Be Alone And Look Through The Camera. In That Moment, The Film Seems Quite Easy. But Then The Others Come In And Everything Becomes Difficult.

A Film That Can Be Described In Words Is Not Really A Film.

I Rarely Feel The Desire To Reread A Scene The Day Before The Shooting. Sometimes I Arrive At The Place Where The Work Is To Be Done And I Do Not Even Know What I Am Going To Shoot. This Is The System I Prefer: To Arrive At The Moment When Shooting Is About To Begin, Absolutely Unprepared, Virgin. I Often Ask To Be Left Alone On The Spot For Fifteen Minutes Or Half An Hour And I Let My Thoughts Wander Freely.
