I do my films the best as I can, period. I always hope that, gradually, my honest work will reach Americans.

I'm at peace with myself. My film just may please audiences. At any rate, it's already a great prize to be part of just 16 films among all of the world cinema out there. I'm tranquil and satisfied.

I'd never make a film that I am not passionate about. My whole life, I've only made the films I wanted to make, even when I had limited means.

If I need something, I just draw it, have a few friends make it move, and it exists. I enjoy this strange power. I try to be a good sorcerer, though.

Digital is expensive, from the computers to the professional software to the technicians, but digital helps me to create more beautiful images in less time.

Fairy tales have a hidden power, and their appeal never ends. They're the best way to get messages across.

The film industry needs to find a way to bring audiences to movie theaters. It's more of a technical trick than a revolution.

Fairy tales are my natural language. I feel at ease telling fairy tales like a fish feels in water. I am totally free.

I like to make people happy, and with fairy tales, I can say anything I want to, but in an agreeable way.

I've never made films for children. That's why children like my films. Nobody wants to be treated as a baby.

My producers give me total freedom. No one asks me for anything; they just tell me to make a good film, and that's what I do.

Am I a mindless fool? My life is a fragment, a disconnected dream that has no continuity. I am so tired of senselessness. I am tired of the music that my feelings sing, the dream music.

To every soul you encounter, be a mirror, which reflects only their beauty.

Environmentalists have a very conflicted relationship with their cars.

This is a world in which reasons are made up because reality is too painful.

Shows like 'Seinfeld' and 'Friends,' they have, like, one or two damn characters throughout the whole series that are minorities.

One gal drank a can of floor wax and topped it off with a cup of Clorox, trying to separate herself from the same world he was in.

I'm gonna walk down the aisle in style and profile.

I've always wanted to be able to let myself go over the edge

If you have the wherewithal to have a lot of money, have it.

You be as truthful as you can to a specific situation, and it will become universal.
