As Long As I Can Make Lots Of Money In Other Businesses, I'll Continue To Subsidize My Own Work.

I Never Went To A Psychologist Or Psychiatrist In My Life. Never. You Know, Italians Are A Little Prejudiced Against That Kind Of Thing.

I'm No Longer Dependent On The Movie Business To Make A Living. So If I Want To Make Movies As Other Old Guys Would Play Golf, I Can.

I Wanted To Be A Film Student Again, As A Man In My 60s. To Go Someplace Alone And See What You Can Cook Up, With Non-existent Budgets. I Didn't Want To Be Surrounded By Comforts And Colleagues, Which You Have When When You're A Big Time Director. I Wanted To Write Personal Works.

Without A Doubt, I Was Born To Want To Make Cinema, But The Kind Of Cinema I Want To Make Is Not Like Commercial Movies, Which I Enjoy Myself, But I Wanted To Be The Kind Of Filmmaker Who Wrote Original Work, Sort Of Like A Novelist Would Who Deals With Who We Are And Our Times Or Our Relationships.
