My Way Of Expression Is Full Of

Cinema Gives You The Opportunity To Be Both A Grandparent And A Grandchild Whereas In Life You Cannot Be Both At The Same Time.

You've Noticed That Same Joke Told By Two Different People, Once Works, And The Other Time Doesn't, Simply Because How The Person Edits It. The Silences, The Pauses, What They Neglect, What They Emphasize - All Of This Matters.

When I Met Akira Kurosawa In Japan, One Question He Asked Me Was, "how Did You Actually Make The Children Act The Way They Do? I Do Have Children In My Films But I Find That I Reduce And Reduce Their Presence Until I Have To Get Rid Of Them Because There's No Way That I Can Direct Them." My Own Thought Is That One Is Very Grand, Like An Emperor On A Horse, And It's Very Hard For A Child To Relate To That. In Order To Be Able To Cooperate With A Child, You Have To Come Down To Below Their Level In Order To Communicate With Them.

All The Different Nations In The World, Despite Their Differences Of Appearance And Religion And Language And Way Of Life, Still Have One Thing In Common, And That Is What's Inside Of All Of Us. If We X-rayed The Insides Of Different Human Beings, We Wouldn't Be Able To Tell From Those X-rays What The Person's Language Or Background Or Race Is.

A Movie Is About Human Beings, About Humanity.
