The One-word Cinema Wasn't Possible For Me

As Long As I Take The Responsibility Of The Choice, I Have To Make The Choice That Is As Right As Possible.

This [the Earthquake] Was A Very Big Influence On Me, And The Issue Of Life And Death From Then On Does Recur In My Films.

I Do Think That We Are Sometimes, As Directors, Guilty Of Portraying Or Asking Our Actors To Behave In Certain Ways That Are Perhaps Not Very Morally Acceptable. I'm Not The Only One.

I Think It Was [jean-luc] Godard Who Said That Life Is Nothing But A Bad Copy Of Film, But Then Our Ambition Must Be To Make Better Films And Better Shapes Of Forms That Are Given In Life.

Of The Hundreds Of Points To Enter And Exit That Are Offered To Me, I Have To Choose The One That I Feel Is The Least Wrong, The Least Fake. It Is Fake, It Is A Moment That I Choose To Erupt The Story, But I Make It As Smooth As I Can. What Enables Me To Do It Is The Skill Of Filmmaking.
