As long as I take the responsibility of the choice, I have to make the choice that is as right as possible.

I've often noticed that we are not able to look at what we have in front of us, unless it's inside a frame.

Religion works on some people but not on everyone, because it says, 'Stop thinking and accept what I tell you.' That's not valid for people who want to think and reflect.

A movie is about human beings, about humanity.

In the total darkness, poetry is still there, and it is there for you.

Film is very much a universal and common voice, and we can't limit it to one particular culture.

Good cinema is what we can believe and bad cinema is what we can't believe. What you see and believe in is very much what I'm interested in.

My way of expression is full of complications and mystery because that's my perception of life.

I would be too selfish if I said everyone should see my movies more than once. To say that would mean I'm just marketing my work!

Never blame anyone for your life. You are responsible for you.

The hour calls for moral grandeur and spiritual audacity.

I can be very shy...but when I'm around people I know, I can be extremely loud.

Beware of the fish people, they are the true enemy.

There will be no justice as long as man will stand with a knife or with a gun and destroy those who are weaker than he is.

I'm very slow, and I do everything myself. I remember I spent three days to change the size of something I had sketched because I felt it was too small.

I truly believe that God provides.

You don't have to transcend something that you have no interest in... it may come but it finds no food.

What is needed is not a change of circumstance, but a change of consciousness.
