It's Impossible To Consider Living Without Ideals.

I Make My Films Because I'm Affected By A Situation, By Something That Makes Me Want To Reflect On It, That Lends Itself To An Artistic Reflection. I Always Aim To Look Directly At What I'm Dealing With. I Think It's A Task Of Dramatic Art To Confront Us With Things That In The Entertainment Industry Are Usually Swept Under The Rug.

It's A Disease Of Critics That Once They've Labeled Someone, It's Very Hard To Change Their Perspective. It's Laziness.

If Someone's Lying To Us, Then It's Rare That We Know That They're Lying To Us. It's Only In Bad Films That You Recognize Immediately That An Actor's Playing In Such A Way That You Can See That He's Lying, And That's Simply Dumb. But To Reach That, It Requires That You Make A Film In Such A Way That A Spectator Feels Compelled To Find His Own Explanation. You Want To Lead The Spectator To Find His Own Interpretation. To Ask Questions Rather Than Provide All Of The Answers. Doing That Leads To Open Endings And Open Dramaturgy.

I'm Not Really A Happy Person. It's A Question Of Temperament. I Have A Tendency Toward Melancholy. You Can Feel Quite Happily Melancholic.

That Is One Of The Characteristics Of Fascism, The Idea That The State Can Provide All Of The Answers For Everyone.
