As a loyal believer in the Auteur Theory I first felt editing was but the logical consequence of the way in which one shoots. But, what I learned is that it is actually another writing.

More quotes by Bernardo Bertolucci
I think that I used to love Hollywood movies. I remember great phases and moments. But, unfortunately, now is not the moment.
Bernardo Bertolucci
I like to be in a huis clos, as the French say - in one place. It's something that in general can create a bit of claustrophobia. But for me, claustrophobia becomes almost immediately claustrophilia. I love it!
Bernardo Bertolucci
A name? Oh, Jesus Christ. Ah, God, I've been called by a million names all my life. I don't want a name. I'm better off with a grunt or a groan for a name.
Bernardo Bertolucci
You know, in ten years you're gonna be playing soccer with your tits, what do you think of that?
Bernardo Bertolucci
After many, many years, I fell out of love with politics. It's not something I like but it's the truth.
Bernardo Bertolucci
I was writing poems when I was young, you know, because my father was a poet, so it was absolutely normal to follow my father.
Bernardo Bertolucci
Film students should stay as far away from film schools and film teachers as possible. The only school for the cinema is the cinema.
Bernardo Bertolucci
Sometimes I think that I understand my movies after I make them. Really. I go very often off of instinct.
Bernardo Bertolucci
Having no children had been a kind of choice up to the moment when, from a choice, it became a sadness.
Bernardo Bertolucci
I accept all interpretations of my films. The only reality is before the camera. Each film I make is kind of a return to poetry for me, or at least an attempt to create a poem.
Bernardo Bertolucci
I like that 3D is based on the fact that you look with two eyes, so two cameras imitate that.
Bernardo Bertolucci
I am in love with the idea of doing a movie in 3D. I think 3D would be great for the story I want to do, in a realistic, normal story, using 3D on the emotions in a kind of intimate story.
Bernardo Bertolucci
There's no more film now everything's digital. I welcome this. It's fantastic for me to have a new chance.
Bernardo Bertolucci
Pornography is not in the hands of the child who discovers his sexuality by masturbating, but in the heart of the adult who slaps him.
Bernardo Bertolucci
I don't see my movies. I think it's healthier and safer to keep a bit of distance. I'm afraid to be disappointed.
Bernardo Bertolucci
This is something that I dream about: to live films, to arrive at the point at which one can live for films, can think cinematographically, eat cinematographically, sleep cinematographically, as a poet, a painter, lives, eats, sleeps painting.
Bernardo Bertolucci
You live day by day. You can't build your life.
Bernardo Bertolucci
English dialogues are always just what you need and nothing more - like something out of Hemingway. In Italian and in French, dialogues are always theatrical, literary. You can do more with it.
Bernardo Bertolucci
Every film I have made has corresponded to a very special moment of my life. I like to think that if someone wanted to reconstruct the story of my life, they can just see my movies and know what I have been through.
Bernardo Bertolucci
I left the ending ambiguous, because that is the way life is.
Bernardo Bertolucci
