I Don't Know Whether I Am Ever

The Moment Always Comes When, Having Collected One's Ideas, Certain Images, An Intuition Of A Certain Kind Of Development- Whether Psychological Or Material- One Must Pass On To The Actual Realization.

My Films Have Always Had An Element Of Immediate Autobiography, In That I Shoot Any Particular Scene According To The Mood I'm In That Day, According To The Little Daily Experiences I've Had And Am Having - But I Don't Tell What Has Happened To Me. I Would Like To Do Something More Strictly Autobiographical, But Perhaps I Never Will, Because It Isn't Interesting Enough.

Fitzgerald Said A Very Interesting Thing In His Diary; That Human Life Proceeds From The Good To The Less Good - That Is, It's Always Worse As You Go On. That's True.

I Want My Characters To Suggest The Background In Themselves, Even When It Is Not Visible. I Want Them To Be So Powerfully Realized That We Cannot Imagine Them Apart From Their Physical And Social Context Even When We See Them In Empty Space.

A Film You Can Explain In Words Is Not A Real Film.
