You have to be completely open to what people would tell you. You do not shape them you do not force the materials into your ideas. You have to have all windows and doors open.

The paintings are not just on flat walls - you have these enormous niches, bulges and protrusions, as well as stalactites and stalagmites. The effect of the three-dimensionality is phenomenal. It's a real drama which the artists of the time understood, and they used it for the drama of their paintings.

The universe is not harmonious: you know that by looking outside.

The internet doesn't have any qualities, technical qualities. It's just fast, reaching out everywhere and so, it can process that and that volume of data flows and so, but it doesn't have any qualities like good or bad or ethical or non-ethical. It's humans, it's us, not the internet.

I'm reminded of an interview Larry King had on his talk show with one of Michael Jackson's sisters. He's talking about how many millions she made on her latest record, and all of a sudden, she looks at him tearfully and says, Larry, you know, I'm not interested in money or sales or songs. I'm a spiritual person. And I thought, Oh my god...

If you’re purely after facts, please buy yourself the phone directory of Manhattan. It has four million times correct facts. But it doesn’t illuminate.

It's funny how in the long time of me working in various countries and various situations that there is this kind of idea out in the media that I am a daredevil and that I risk the lives of everyone around me, but nobody ever gets hurt on my shoot. Some crew members sometimes, but the actors are OK.

Never wallow in your troubles despair must be kept private and brief.

Everyone who makes films has to be an athlete to a certain degree because cinema does not come from abstract academic thinking it comes from your knees and thighs.

James Joyce is a cul-de-sac. [Ulysses is] ... an example how literature branched out and went into, lost itself in nowhere, no man's land.

However, there are a couple of volcanoes very close nearby, like Vesuvius in Italy right next to Naples.

Film is not the art of scholars, but of illiterates.

There is never an excuse not to finish a film.

I work very fast and steadily, and I don't hardly ever notice that I'm working. It feels like just breathing or walking when I do films.
