Method Actors Are Absolutely Terrible. They Want

When You Work On A Character, You Form In Your Mind An Image Of What He Ought To Look Like. Then You Go And Find One Who Resembles Him.

Actors Are Always A Little High At Work. Acting Is Their Drug. So When You Put The Brakes On, They're Naturally A Little Disappointed.

I Never Think In Terms Of Alienation; It's The Others Who Do. Alienation Means One Thing To Hegel, Another To Marx And Yet Another To Freud; So It Is Not Possible To Give A Single Definition, One That Will Exhaust The Subject. It Is A Question Bordering On Philosophy, And I'm Not A Philosopher Nor A Sociologist. My Business Is To Tell Stories, To Narrate With Images - Nothing Else. If I Do Make Films About Alienation - To Use That Word That Is So Ambiguous - They Are About Characters, Not About Me.

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've Always Played Down The Drama In My Films. In My Main Scenes, There's Never An Opportunity For An Actor To Let Go Of Everything He's Got Inside. I Always Try To Tone Down The Acting, Because My Stories Demand It, To The Point Where I Might Change A Script So That An Actor Has No Opportunity To Come Out Well.
