My producers give me total freedom. No one asks me for anything; they just tell me to make a good film, and that's what I do.

I'm at peace with myself. My film just may please audiences. At any rate, it's already a great prize to be part of just 16 films among all of the world cinema out there. I'm tranquil and satisfied.

I'd never make a film that I am not passionate about. My whole life, I've only made the films I wanted to make, even when I had limited means.

If I need something, I just draw it, have a few friends make it move, and it exists. I enjoy this strange power. I try to be a good sorcerer, though.

Fairy tales are my natural language. I feel at ease telling fairy tales like a fish feels in water. I am totally free.

I like to make people happy, and with fairy tales, I can say anything I want to, but in an agreeable way.

I've never made films for children. That's why children like my films. Nobody wants to be treated as a baby.

No matter what the level of funding or success may be, there's always money missing, and you still want to have a gorgeous image, an endless cast and a flawless rendering.

Great novels are above all great fairy tales . . . literature does not tell the truth but makes it up.

I get depressed at airports.

I could make you read the entire quadrant exposition again...BACK TO BACK TO BACK TO BACK.

When aristocrats pretend they're common people -- they get common!

The emotion felt by a man in the presence of nature certainly counts for something in the origin of religions.

The tide rises, the tide falls, The twilight darkens, the curlew calls; The little waves, with their soft, white hands, Efface the footprints in the sands, And the tide rises, the tide falls.

If you can lessen the chance of a bad injury by being strong, you have to do it.

I told our guys they must not have cable because Antoine Walker knows how to play, Derek Anderson can play, Shandon Anderson knows how to play, and Gary Payton knows how play.

The one unbreakable rule about hitting is this: if a batter hits well with his own particular stance and swing, think twice - or more - before suggesting a change.

You need to learn to accept your flaws and forgive yourself.
