I don't think I've made good movies. I've just made some movies more disgusting than others.

I don't think I've done anything important or magnificent. I'm a worker, and the thing I prefer in my life is cinema. When I'm working in cinema, I'm happy. And that's all, you know?

I don't think I have a definitive film. Such a thing is not possible for me.

I am not retired! I will be retired the day I die.

I love cinema. It is the most important thing to me. Life is cinema. It has been this way since I was a child of about 14, and I was going every day to see the movies.

A double sided sword is crafted under heat and pressure and comes out ever more beautiful because of it.

The basic idea of integral transformative practice (ITP) is simple: the more aspects of our being that we simultaneously exercise, the more likely that transformation will occur.

I have a very low regard for cynics. I think it's the beginning of dying.
