I've Made Films About The Middle Classes

I Don't Know Whether I Am Ever Bored. I Never Look At Myself.

I Forget About The Relationship Between Myself And Any Actress When Working With Her.

I Can't Imagine Love Without A Sexual Charge.

Ingmar Bergman Is A Long Way From Me, But I Admire Him. He, Too, Concentrates A Great Deal On Individuals; And Although The Individual Is What Interests Him Most, We Are Very Far Apart. His Individuals Are Very Different From Mine; His Problems Are Different From Mine - But He's A Great Director. So Is Fellini, For That Matter.

I Rarely Feel The Desire To Reread A Scene The Day Before The Shooting. Sometimes I Arrive At The Place Where The Work Is To Be Done And I Do Not Even Know What I Am Going To Shoot. This Is The System I Prefer: To Arrive At The Moment When Shooting Is About To Begin, Absolutely Unprepared, Virgin. I Often Ask To Be Left Alone On The Spot For Fifteen Minutes Or Half An Hour And I Let My Thoughts Wander Freely.
