As An Artist, I Feel That We

I’ve Never Seen An Exploding Helicopter. I’ve Never Seen Anybody Go And Blow Somebody’s Head Off. So Why Should I Make Films About Them? But I Have Seen People Destroy Themselves In The Smallest Way, I’ve Seen People Withdraw, I’ve Seen People Hide Behind Political Ideas, Behind Dope, Behind The Sexual Revolution, Behind Fascism, Behind Hypocrisy, And I’ve Myself Done All These Things. So I Can Understand Them. What We Are Saying Is So Gentle. It’s Gentleness. We Have Problems, Terrible Problems, But Our Problems Are Human Problems.

The Camera Is The Slave To The Actor.

Film Is, To Me, Just Unimportant. But People Are Very Important.

The Greatest Location In The World Is The Human Face.

An Artist Can Accomplish Anything Provided He Doesn't Accept Facts Or Defeat For More Than A Few Minutes.
