For A True Artist, Difficulties Become Opportunities

If Art Is Not A Medicine For The Society, It Is A Poison.

I Have An Ambition To Live 300 Years. I Will Not Live 300 Years. Maybe I Will Live One Year More. But I Have The Ambition. Why You Will Not Have Ambition? Why? Have The Greatest Ambition Possible. You Want To Be Immortal? Fight To Be Immortal. Do It. You Want To Make The Most Fantastic Art Or Movie? Try. If You Fail, Is Not Important. We Need To Try.

Don't Make Your Living With Cinema Because Hollywood Will Take You, Will Eat You, Will Destroy You. This Is The Reality. You Have A Good Picture, Have Success, You Take The Person And They Destroy You.

I Don't See Myself As A Moviemaker Only, You Know? When I Can Do A Picture, I Do. But I Don't Work Like A Business, In Pictures. I Am Not Obliged To Make One Picture After The Other In Order To Live.

Movies Are Movement. A Comic-book Is Immobility. From One Still Picture To Another, But No Movement. You Need To Make The Movement In Your Head. In The Movies, You See The Movement. It's Different. What Is The Same Is The Mind Of The Creator.
