ALL ART, OF COURSE, IS INTELLECTUAL, BUT FOR ME, ALL THE ARTS, AND CINEMA EVEN MORE SO, MUST ABOVE ALL BE EMOTIONAL AND ACT UPON THE HEART.

If you look for a meaning, you'll miss everything that happens.

Unspoken feelings are unforgettable.

Unlike all the other art forms, film is able to seize and render the passage of time, to stop it, almost to possess it in infinity. I'd say that film is the sculpting of time.

I am only interested in the views of two people: one is called Bresson and one called Bergman.

My purpose is to make films that will help people to live, even if they sometimes cause unhappiness.

Art is born out of an ill-designed world.

History is not Time; nor is evolution. They are both consequences. Time is a state: the flame in which there lives the salamander of the human soul.

Being silent for a while is good. Words can't really express a person's emotions.

Where am I when I'm not in reality or in my imagination?

Art is born and takes hold wherever there is a timeless and insatiable longing for the spiritual...

Magic is a trick, and the trick is to believe it's real.

Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.

New kinds of heroics need to be celebrated - like love, thoughtfulness, forgiveness, diplomacy - or we're not going to get there.

Travel Far, Pay No Fare... a book can take you anywhere.

Our need to reimagine our world through the vibratory larynx, that's what matters. Re-awaken the world to itself. Through ideas, pictures, sounds. Hold the mirror up to "nature."

The most effective indirect approach is one that lures or startles the opponent into a false move - so that, as in ju-jitsu, his own effort is turned into the lever of his overthrow.

If the poor overweight jogger only knew how far he had to run to work off the calories in a crust of bread he might find it better in terms of pound per mile to go to a massage parlor.

It goes without saying that when you're the manager of a Premiership club, you go eight miles down the road and get beaten by a team two divisions below you, it's disappointing.

I have to say that although it broke my heart, I was, and still am, glad I was there.

I had fun to be a little bit of a nerd.
