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

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.

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...

Becoming an artist does not merely mean learning something, acquiring professional techniques and methods. Indeed, as someone has said, in order to write well you have to forget the grammar.

Earth, water, fire, and wind. Where there is energy there is life.

A vampire is like a Rose. They are beautiful, yet harmful.

The opportunity will not remain open indefinitely.

It is better to be full of drink than full of food.

By the time something reaches the cover of Time magazine, it's old news anyway.

Children play earnestly as if it were work. But people grow up, and they work with a sorrow upon them. It's duty.

Instead of standing on the shore and proving to ourselves that the ocean cannot carry us, let us venture on its waters just to see.

Sometimes you can learn, even from a bad experience. By coping you become stronger. The pain does not go away, but it becomes manageable.

In sharp contrasts to traditional art, modern art does not hide the fact that it is something made and produced: on the contrary, it underscores the fact.
