All my movies are difficult to classify because they are very eclectic in mixing genres.

I don't want to imitate life in movies; I want to represent it. And in that representation, you use the colors you feel, and sometimes they are fake colors. But always it's to show one emotion.

I think décor says a lot about someone's social position, their taste, their sensibility, their work - and also about the aesthetic way I have chosen to tell their story.

Cinema can fill in the empty spaces of your life and your loneliness.

Even though I love my mother, I didn't want to make an idealized portrait of her. I'm fascinated more by her defects - they are funnier than her other qualities.

I make movies for my needs. My goal has never, never, never been to make shocking movie.

Anything that is not autobiography is plagiarism.

I think that the consciousness of passion makes you act very differently.

Cinema has become my life. I dont mean a parallel world, I mean my life itself. I sometimes have the impression that the daily reality is simply there to provide material for my next film.

Negative thought saps a person’s strength.Positive thought is healthy to the soul.

Mom always told us to wear pretty, matching underwear.

The scars will take me far, they always do.

Once more a red fire blows steeply upwards...the factory will do no more work for Herr Churchill...tomorrow morning Coventry will lie in smoke and ruins.

I do listen to some music, but I don't technically have one band I'm absolutely hooked on.

It's my first presenting role so I'll be nervous, but it's going to be great fun. I can't wait to sample the food and meet the celebrities. Hopefully I can inject some of my own glamour.

Im gonna be something one of these days.

A coin is turned around before it is handed to the beggar, yet a child is unflinchingly tossed into cosmic bruteness.

When a man says his word is as his bond - get his bond.
