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.
I do like musical films more than big Hollywood films, especially those by Jacques Demi and Vincent Minelli.
When I was making my first films, I was very interested in Hollywood B movies.
