Always Make The Audience Suffer As Much

The More Successful The Villain, The More Successful The Picture.

Everything's Perverted In A Different Way.

Making A Film Means, First Of All, To Tell A Story. That Story Can Be An Improbable One, But It Should Never Be Banal. It Must Be Dramatic And Human. What Is Drama, After All, But Life With The Dull Bits Cut Out?

I Am A Typed Director. If I Made Cinderella, The Audience Would Immediately Be Looking For A Body In The Coach.

I Can't Read Fiction Without Visualizing Every Scene. The Result Is It Becomes A Series Of Pictures Rather Than A Book.
