In My Mind, There Isn't As Much

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 We Start Shooting I Don't Have Rehearsals With Characters At All. So, Rather Than Pulling Them Towards Myself, I Travel Closer To Them; It's Very Much Closer To The Real Person Than Anything I Try To Create. So I Give Them Something But I Also Take From Them.

People Have Curiosity, They Have Intelligence, They Have Interest In Understanding Their Peers. But Producers And Directors Of Cinema Have Decided That The Seats In The Theaters Have Been Made To Transform People's Minds To Lazy Minds.

A Work Of Art Doesn't Exist Outside The Perception Of The Audience.

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.
