I have always thought that, of all the arts, the cinema is the most complete art.

Don't make your living with cinema because Hollywood will take you, will eat you, will destroy you. This is the reality. You have a good picture, have success, you take the person and they destroy you.

Scientific thought and the miraculous unconscious are two waves in the same ocean.

Every work of art belongs to his time. I would not paint again the Mona Lisa in the third dimension.

A true artist is always out of his time.

I am an artist, you understand? For me, a picture is like poetry. When you make art, this is not coming from an intellectual place. It's coming from the deep side of your unconscious, your soul.
