You have kids studying master class visual arts who are pushed to make films that will be successful economically; that's what they focus on. So they work for corporate interest instead of artistic expression.

I know how to work with people. I've worked with the same people for 10 years. I'm not that kind of auteur. I hear ideas.

On a transcendental level, a film is not going to be better or worse because there's a prize behind it. The work will be what it is, with or without a prize.

I love the three-act theory. It works and works beautifully. But you don't necessarily have to structure a story that way: Cortazar and Borges wrote in different structural styles.

Good directors don't answer questions with their work. They generate debate and create discussion.

Irony became the head that bit its tail and then there is no way out.

My cinema is an extension of myself. A sort of life-testimony of my vital experience, with my few virtues and my numerous limitations.

You can better embrace life, you can enjoy it more, when you are conscious that it will end. You bite life.

When I think about growing up, I feel most affected by two travels that I made working in cargo boats when I was 16 and 18. One of them crossed through the Mississippi and Baton Rouge and Mobile, Alabama, and another went all the way to Europe.
dramatic responsibility
My responsibility is to make a film and find my dramatic language; I don't have any political or social responsibility.
