‘I never learned anything at all in school and didn’t
read a book for pleasure until I was 19 years old’
‘The great nations have always acted like gangsters,
and the small nations like prostitutes’
‘If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed’
‘I have a wife, three children, three dogs, seven
cats. I’m not a Franz Kafka, sitting alone and suffering’
‘A filmmaker has almost the same freedom as a novelist
has when he buys himself some paper’
