It's A Pity That I Can Never

I'm A Very Dull Passenger. I Don't Speak. I Don't Have Sex. No Alcohol. I Don't Do Drugs. The Thing That I Like About Flying Is That I Feel Like I Can Really Concentrate. I Used To Write Many Things, And Many Ideas For My Movies Belong To This Moment Where I'm Not Anywhere Specifically In Terms Of Time And Space And Geography. I Am Suspended, And This Suspension Fits Me Very Well.

If I Had Not Been Successful As A Director, Then I'm Sure I Would Still Be Telling Stories. I Would Have Continued On 16mm Or Found A Different Medium Through Which To Tell Them. Maybe They Would Have Been Less Glamorous Than Films, But I Would Continue To Tell Stories.

After The Enormous Success Of All About My Mother, All The Awards And Everything, I Wanted To Start A Movie In Exactly The Same Place That I Used To Be Before. I Wanted To Show That All Of The Success Had Not Changed My Perception.

Anything That Is Not Autobiography Is Plagiarism.

I Used This Line To Demonstrate How Important Colors Are In Movies: It's Not A Caprice.
