You Exist Only In What You Do.

I Never Make Moral Judgments; I'm Not Qualified To Do So. I Am Not A Censor, A Priest, Or A Politician.

I Think That One Can Have Luck If One Tries To Create An Atmosphere Of Spontaneity.

When I Do Things Without Any Explanation, But Just With Spontaneity...i Can Be Sure That I Am Right.

The Public Has Lost The Habit Of Movie-going Because The Cinema No Longer Possesses The Charm, The Hypnotic Charisma, The Authority It Once Commanded. The Image It Once Held For Us All — That Of A Dream We Dreamt With Our Eyes Open — Has Disappeared. Is It Still Possible That One Thousand People Might Group Together In The Dark And Experience The Dream That A Single Individual Has Directed?

You See Me In My Most Virile Moment When You See Me Doing What I Do. When I Am Directing, A Special Energy Comes Upon Me. ... It Is Only When I Am Doing My Work That I Feel Truly Alive. It Is Like Having Sex.
