To Be Perfectly Honest, I Think That

I Don't Need A Psychiatrist. I Can Sort Out My Fears With My Work. That's The Privilege Of All Artists, To Be Able To Sort Out Their Unhappiness And Their Neuroses In Order To Create Something.

I'm Not Really A Happy Person. It's A Question Of Temperament. I Have A Tendency Toward Melancholy. You Can Feel Quite Happily Melancholic.

To Me, It's Far More Efficient To Mobilize The Imagination. It's Far More Efficient To Hear A Creaking Step, For Example, Than To See The Face Of A Monster, Which Usually Looks Ridiculous, And Where You Know That The Blood Is Ketchup.

If I Tell The Audience What They Should Think, Then I Am Robbing Them Of Their Own Imagination And Their Own Capacity Of Deciding What's Important To Them.

I'm Not Someone Who Enjoys Long Talks, Long Rehearsals. I'm Very Technical: I Tell My Actors, You Come In, You Sit Down, You Pick Up A Coffee, You Look Here, You Say The Line. We Try It With The Cameras Rolling, And If It Doesn't Work, We Adjust It Until It Does. It's Very Simple.
