I Think, Just As Footballers Play Better

The Only Thing That I Can Do Is Hold A Mirror In Front Of Men And Women, In Front Of The Viewer In The Theater, To Reflect. There Is Nothing But Reflection That I Could Intend To Offer The Viewer Of The Film.

When I Met Akira Kurosawa In Japan, One Question He Asked Me Was, "how Did You Actually Make The Children Act The Way They Do? I Do Have Children In My Films But I Find That I Reduce And Reduce Their Presence Until I Have To Get Rid Of Them Because There's No Way That I Can Direct Them." My Own Thought Is That One Is Very Grand, Like An Emperor On A Horse, And It's Very Hard For A Child To Relate To That. In Order To Be Able To Cooperate With A Child, You Have To Come Down To Below Their Level In Order To Communicate With Them.

Directors Don't Always Create, They Can Also Destroy With Too Many Demands.

I Do Think That We Are Sometimes, As Directors, Guilty Of Portraying Or Asking Our Actors To Behave In Certain Ways That Are Perhaps Not Very Morally Acceptable. I'm Not The Only One.

The One-word Cinema Wasn't Possible For Me Anymore. I'd Hit A Wall, A Dead End. Therefore I Thought I'd Turn Back.
