An Ample Arse Helps You To Be

When I Make A Film, I Never Stop Uncovering Mysteries, Making Discoveries. When I'm Writing, Filming, Editing, Even Doing Promotional Work, I Discover New Things About The Film, About Myself, And About Others. That Is What I'm Subconsciously Looking For When Shooting A Film: To Glimpse The Enigmas Of Life, Even If I Don't Resolve Them, But At Least To Uncover Them. Cinema Is Curiosity In The Most Intense Meaning Of The Word.

All My Movies Have An Autobiographical Dimension, But That Is Indirectly, Through The Characters. In Fact I Am Behind Everything That Happens And That Is Said, But I Am Never Talking About Myself In First Person. Something In Me - Probably A Dislike Of Cheap Exhibitionism- Stops Me From Approaching A Project Too Autobiographically.

Never Again Work In The Same Conditions In Whichyou Made Your First Film. It's Good To Take Risks, But Not Thatmuch Risk.

I'm More Interested To Show The Darkest Places Of Myself, And I Don't Joke About It.

I Don't Want The Director To Have To Make Any Decisions Except To Say "action" And "cut."
