I Don't Want What I Am Saying

I'm More Or Less Skeptical About Marriage, Because Of Family Ties, Relations Between Children And Parents - It's All So Depressing.

The Script Is A Starting Point, Not A Fixed Highway. I Must Look Through The Camera To See If What I've Written On The Page Is Right Or Not. In The Script, You Describe Imagined Scenes, But It's All Suspended In Mid-air. Often, An Actor Viewed Against A Wall Or A Landscape, Or Seen Through A Window, Is Much More Eloquent Than The Lines You've Given Him. So Then You Take Out The Lines. This Happens Often To Me And I End Up Saying What I Want With A Movement Or A Gesture.

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.

When I See A Good Film, It's Like A Whiplash. I Run Away, In Order Not To Be Influenced. Thus, The Films I Liked Most Are Those I Think Least About.

That Love Is A Conflict Seems To Me Obvious And Natural. There Isn't A Single Worthwhile Work In World Literature Based On Love That Is Only About The Conquest Of Happiness, The Effort To Arrive At What We Call Love. It's The Struggle That Has Always Interested Those Who Produce Works Of Art - Literature, Cinema Or Poetry.
