I'll Go On Making Films Until I

A Particular Type Of Film Emerged From World War Two, With The Italian Neorealist School. It Was Perfectly Right For Its Time, Which Was As Exceptional As The Reality Around Us. Our Major Interest Focused On That And On How We Could Relate To It. Later, When The Situation Normalized And Post-war Life Returned To What It Had Been In Peacetime, It Became Important To See The Intimate, Interior Consequences Of All That Had Happened.

A Scene Has To Have A Rhythm Of Its Own, A Structure Of Its Own.

The Way I Relax, What I Like Doing Most, Is Watching. That's Why I Like Traveling, To Have New Things Before My Eyes - Even A New Face. I Enjoy Myself Like That And Can Stay For Hours, Looking At Things, People, Scenery.

I Want An Actor To Try To Give Me What I Ask In The Best And Most Exact Way Possible. He Mustn't Try To Find Out More, Because Then There's The Danger That He'll Become His Own Director.

Nothing Regarding Man Is Ever Inhuman. That's Why I Make Films, Not Iceboxes.
