Violence Is Not The Only Means Of

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.

I Dislike Judging Myself, But I Will Say I Would Be Wealthy Today If I Had Accepted All The Films That Have Been Offered To Me With Large Sums Of Money. But I've Always Refused, In Order To Do What I Felt Like Doing.

My Work Is Like Digging, It's Archaeological Research Among The Arid Materials Of Our Times. That's How I Understand My First Films, And That's What I'm Still Doing...

I Don't Want What I Am Saying To Sound Like A Prophecy Or Anything Like An Analysis Of Modern Society .... These Are Only Feelings I Have, And I Am The Least Speculative Man On Earth.

Till Now I Have Never Shot A Scene Without Taking Account Of What Stands Behind The Actors Because The Relationship Between People And Their Surroundings Is Of Prime Importance.
