Young film makers should learn how to deal with the money and learn how to deal with the power structure. Because it is like a battle.

Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.

My whole life has been movies and religion. That's it. Nothing else.

Very often I've known people who wouldn't say a word to each other, but they'd go to see movies together and experience life that way.

I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.
