There's a humble beauty about listening to period instruments that I like.
Whenever I visit a city, I like to see what classical music concerts are on offer.
When it comes to remaking my own films in the English language, I can only imagine that it is a very boring process, I wouldn't ever dream of it.
When I say that I am going to do an American film, I didn't want to suddenly go off into a completely different world that which bears no relation to the style of filmmaking that I'm used to.
When I was making my first films, I was very interested in Hollywood B movies.
Whether it's trivial or important, every choice has a moral aspect to it to a certain degree.
When we are confronted with extreme situations, we forget about moral issues; we simply act and must then accept the consequences.
When I grow older and less popular, there will come a time when I have to shoot films on low budgets.
