I Like Unformed Characters. This May Be

The Characters In My Films Try To Live Honestly And Make The Most Of The Lives They've Been Given. I Believe You Must Live Honestly And Develop Your Abilities To The Full. People Who Do This Are The Real Heroes.

The Root Of Any Film Project For Me Is This Inner Need To Express Something. What Nurtures This Root And Makes It Grow Into A Tree Is The Script. What Makes The Tree Bear Flowers And Fruit Is The Directing.

People Today Have Forgotten They're Really Just A Part Of Nature. Yet, They Destroy The Nature On Which Our Lives Depend. They Always Think They Can Make Something Better... They Don't Know It, But They're Losing Nature. They Don't See That They're Going To Perish. The Most Important Things For Human Beings Are Clean Air And Clean Water.

When I Start On A Film I Always Have A Number Of Ideas About My Project. Then One Of Them Begins To Germinate, To Sprout, And It Is This, Which I Take And Work With. My Films Come From My Need To Say A Particular Thing At A Particular Time. The Beginning Of Any Film For Me Is This Need To Express Something. It Is To Make It Nurture And Grow That I Write My Script- It Is Directing It That Makes My Tree Blossom And Bear Fruit.

Page 61: No Matter Where I Go In The World, Although I Can't Speak Any Foreign Language, I Don't Feel Out Of Place. I Think Of Earth As My Home. If Everyone Thought This Way, People Might Notice Just How Foolish International Friction Is And The Would Be Put An End To It.
