I'm a great believer in spontaneity because I think planning is the most destructive thing in the world.
My parents allowed their two sons to be individuals. My family was a wild and wonderful place, with lots of friends and neighbors visiting and talking loud and eating loud and nobody telling the children to be quiet or putting them down.
I won't make shorthand films, because I don't want to manipulate audiences into assuming quick, manufactured truths.
I think I probably have the philosophy of a poor man. You know, like maybe I'd steal the pennies off a dead man's eyes.
The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all.
The idea of love as a mysterious, undiscovered world has come to have no place in our innermost imagination.
