I Believe In The Autobiographical Concept Only

I Want An Actor To Try To Give Me What I Ask In The Best And Most Exact Way Possible. He Mustn't Try To Find Out More, Because Then There's The Danger That He'll Become His Own Director.

My Films Have Always Had An Element Of Immediate Autobiography, In That I Shoot Any Particular Scene According To The Mood I'm In That Day, According To The Little Daily Experiences I've Had And Am Having - But I Don't Tell What Has Happened To Me. I Would Like To Do Something More Strictly Autobiographical, But Perhaps I Never Will, Because It Isn't Interesting Enough.

I Would Throw Out The Sense Of Nation, "good Breeding," Certain Forms And Ceremonies That Govern Relationships - Perhaps Even Jealousy. We're Not Aware Of All Of Them Yet, Though We Suffer From Them. And They Mislead Us Not Only About Ethics But Also About Aesthetics.

A Director Is A Man, Therefore He Has Ideas; He Is Also An Artist, Therefore He Has Imagination. Whether They Are Good Or Bad, It Seems To Me That I Have An Abundance Of Stories To Tell. And The Things I See, The Things That Happen To Me, Continually Renew The Supply.

I Am Neither A Sociologist Nor A Politician. All I Can Do Is Imagine For Myself What The Future Will Be Like.
