Man Is A Genius When He Is

Of All My Films, People Wrote To Me Most About This One... ...i Had Wanted To Make The Idiot Long Before Rashomon. Since I Was Little I've Liked Russian Literature, But I Find That I Like Dostoevsky The Best And Had Long Thought That This Book Would Make A Wonderful Film. He Is Still My Favourite Author, And He Is The One - I Still Think - Who Writes Most Honestly About Human Existence.

Human Beings Are Unable To Be Honest With Themselves About Themselves. They Cannot Talk About Themselves Without Embellishing.

Movie Directors, Or Should I Say People Who Create Things, Are Very Greedy And They Can Never Be Satisfied... That's Why They Can Keep On Working. I've Been Able To Work For So Long Because I Think Next Time, I'll Make Something Good.

A Truly Good Movie Is Enjoyable Too. There’s Nothing Complicated About It.

The Role Of The Artist Is To Not Look Away.
