Reality! But What Does This Word Mean?

I’m Just A Storyteller, And The Cinema Happens To Be My Medium. I Like It Because It Recreates Life In Movement, Enlarges It, Enhances It, Distills It. For Me, It’s Far Closer To The Miraculous Creation Of Life Than, Say, A Painting Or Music Or Even Literature. It’s Not Just An Art Form; It’s Actually A New Form Of Life, With Its Own Rhythms, Cadences, Perspectives And Transparencies. It’s My Way Of Telling A Story.

Like Many People, I Have No Religion, And I Am Just Sitting In A Small Boat Drifting With The Tide. I Live In The Doubts Of My Duty.... I Think There Is Dignity In This, Just To Go On Working.... Today We Stand Naked, Defenseless, And More Alone Than At Any Time In History. We Are Waiting For Something, Perhaps Another Miracle, Perhaps The Martians. Who Knows?

Marriage Is A Tyranny, A Mortification Of Man's Natural Instincts. Man Needs A Multiplicity Of Relationships.

All Art Is Autobiographical; The Pearl Is The Oyster's Autobiography.

I Claim The Right To Contradict Myself. I Don't Want To Deprive Myself Of The Right To Talk Nonsense, And I Ask Humbly To Be Allowed To Be Wrong Sometimes.
