I can watch films and say how technically beautiful they are, but I'm not impressed by any technicality.

I would say that no film is apolitical. There are politics in all films. Any film that is anchored in a society, any film that deals with humanity is necessarily political.

Everybody knows that I am not usually patient enough to actually sit down and watch one of my own films from the beginning to the end - I never do.

Usually when I take my films to festivals, I feel incredibly anxious about them. I wonder how it will be received, how the audience will react. I feel deeply responsible for them.

I think Woody Allen is Woody Allen, and no matter where he goes he still makes his Woody Allen films.

I have no advice for anyone on how to live.
