Life is a combination of magic and pasta.
I don’t like the idea of “understanding” a film. I don’t believe that rational understanding is an essential element in the reception of any work of art. Either a film has something to say to you or it hasn’t. If you are moved by it, you don’t need it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.
Nothing is more honest than a dream.
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the passion of life.
Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present.
You have to live spherically - in many directions. Never lose your childish enthusiasm - and things will come your way.
Never trust a woman who doesn’t like to eat. She is probably lousy in bed.
The visionary is the only realist.
A different language is a different vision of life.
Going to the cinema is like returning to the womb; you sit there, still and meditative in the darkness, waiting for life to appear on the screen.
One of the greatest handicaps is to fear a mistake. You have stopped yourself. You have to move freely into the arena, not just to wait for the perfect situation, the perfect moment... If you have to make a mistake, it's better to make a mistake of action than one of inaction. If I had the opportunity again, I would take chances.
You exist only in what you do.
Experience is what you get while looking for something else.
Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets.
What's important is the way we say it. Art is all about craftsmanship. Others can interpret craftsmanship as style if they wish. Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia, presentiment, to the way we express all that. It's not what we say but how we say it that matters.
The artist is the medium between his fantasies and the rest of the world.
I spent my life trying to cure myself of my education.
Freedom, especially a woman's freedom, is a conquest to be made, not a gift to be received. It isn't granted. It must be taken.
Fate is written in the face.
Realism is a bad word. In a sense everything is realistic. I see no line between the imaginary and the real.
Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.
If there were a little more silence, if we all kept quiet...maybe we could understand something.
Real religion should be something that liberates men. But churches don't want free men who can think for themself and find their own divinity within. When a religion becomes organized it is no longer a religious experience but only superstition and estrangement.
Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. It's a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.
I claim the right to contradict myself. I don't want to deprive myself of the right to talk nonsense, and I ask humbly to be allowed to be wrong sometimes.
