At Its Best, Film Should Be Like

I Never Use Soundtrack; It Is Always Part Of The Story.

Drama Lives On Conflict. If You're Trying To Deal With Social Issues Seriously, There's No Way Of Avoiding Violence, Which Is So Present In Society.

The Smaller And Younger Kids Are, The More Patient You Have To Be. But If They're Gifted, Then It's A Wonderful Present That You're Given By Having A Child Like That In Your Film... More So Than In The Case Of Actors Because, For Example, If You Ask Them To Play A Lion, They Don't Then Play A Lion, They Actually Are A Lion. So, A Gifted Child Is Something Very Special. On The Other Hand, If A Child Has No Gifts In That Way It's Absolutely Hopeless And There's Nothing You Can Do!

You'll See More Violence In Any Television Crime Series Than You Will In My Films Art Is There To Have A Stimulating Effect, If It Earns Its Name. You Have To Be Honest, That's The Only Thing.

Never Say No. It Always Depends On What's Possible. I Don't Care So Much Where It Is; It's What I Want To Do That Matters.
