Some colors are very difficult to render, and you must compensate to get the color you want on the screen.

I like making black and white films in natural surroundings, but I much prefer shooting a color film inside a studio where the colors are easier to control.

There's one thing which I hate about color films... people who use up a lot of their despairing producer's money by working in the laboratory to bring out the dominant hues, or to make color films where there isn't any color.

To observe a profoundly stupid individual can be very enriching, and that's why we should never feel contempt for them.

You have to accept the fact that sometimes you are the pigeon, and sometimes you are the statue.

I wanted to make a film about stupid people that was very vulgar and deeply stupid. From that moment on I can hardly be reproached for making a film that is about stupid people.
