The world of fashion. I'm interested in the world, not in fashion! But, maybe I was too quick to put down fashion. Why not look at it without prejudice? Why not examine it like any other industry, like the movies for example?

I'm getting a little bored by the juxtaposition of American and other cinema. I no longer think this division is as true as it might have been in the 1980s, or the early part of the 90s.

In fact, it is amazing how much European films - Italian, French, German and English - have recovered a certain territory of the audience in their countries over the last few years.

Filmmakers and critics wrote about each other and sometimes very harshly. This no longer exists.

I remember that even my first impression of Italian cinema was pictures by paparazzi because my mom was reading all of these trash magazines with paparazzo pictures.

Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes.

The beautiful image today means nothing. It's worthshit. In fact, it's almost as if it has the opposite effect, becauseyou're just like everything else out there.

Ibrahim tells his story without a grain of complaint, and this was true for all of the band members. This is very much part of the Cuban spirit and soul.

Image
It's almost scary how stylish things can look if you take the color out - how much more you see the essence of things and how much more something can appear elegant.

Take opera for example - to go to the opera you have to dress up in a tuxedo and pay lots of money.

The last adventure left on this planet is creativity because we've been everywhere. There's not much left to explore. But there's a lot of exploration left in the human imagination.

Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.

What is generally referred to as American-style films are, in fact, studio productions.

If you travel a lot, if you like roaming about in order to lose yourself, you can end up in the strangest places. I think it must be a kind of built-in radar, which often takes me to places that are either peculiarly quiet or peculiar in a quiet sort of way.

In books they don't have deleted scenes, like with DVDs. You could have your deleted scene in a book as well!

I sometimes feel fiction is the ideal preservation for real memories. Fiction is such a good place to keep things.

Every photo, every 'ONCE' in time is also the beginning of a story starting 'once upon a time...' Every photo is the first frame of a movie.
