Cinema Should Make You Forget You Are

It's Very Important To Set Your Place In A Concrete Environment. I Think Chekhov Said That The Important Thing When You Have A Play Or Any Kind Of Novel Is To Set The Roots In A Concrete Place.

I See Macbeth As A Young, Open-faced Warrior, Who Is Gradually Sucked Into A Whirpool Of Events Because Of His Ambition. When He Meets The Weird Sisters And Hears Their Prophecy, He's Like The Man Who Hopes To Win A Million - A Gamble For High Stakes.

I Can Only Say That Whatever My Life And Work Have Been, I'm Not Envious Of Anyone - And This Is My Biggest Satisfaction.

My Films Are The Expression Of Momentary Desires. I Follow My Instincts, But In A Disciplined Way.

I Admire Actors For Their Infinite Patience. That's Why They Need All Those Trailers And All Their Crowd Of People Who Pamper Them. But It Is A Drag To Get Up Sometimes At 4:30 In The Morning And Get Into Makeup, And Wait Forever Until They Call You Onto The Set.
