In A Mad World Only The Mad

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.

Human Beings Share The Same Common Problems. A Film Can Only Be Understood If It Depicts These Properly.

With A Good Script A Good Director Can Produce A Masterpiece; With The Same Script A Mediocre Director Can Make A Passable Film. But With A Bad Script Even A Good Director Can’t Possibly Make A Good Film. For Truly Cinematic Expression, The Camera And The Microphone Must Be Able To Cross Both Fire And Water. That Is What Makes A Real Movie. The Script Must Be Something That Has The Power To Do This.

For Me, Filmmaking Combines Everything. That's The Reason I've Made Cinema My Life's Work. In Films, Painting And Literature, Theatre And Music Come Together. But A Film Is Still A Film.

I Suppose All Of My Films Have A Common Theme. If I Think About It, Though, The Only Theme I Can Think Of Is Really A Question: Why Can’t People Be Happier Together?
