You know, essentially when you do a play you're reinterpreting a work of art that already exists. That's not what happens with a movie.

Editing feels almost like sculpting or a form of continuing the writing process.

Every single art form is involved in film, in a way.

I think it's a terrible shame that politics has become show business.

I mean, certainly writing, painting, photography, dance, architecture, there is an aspect of almost every art form that is useful and that merges into film in some way.

I didn't grow up thinking of movies as film, or art, but as movies, something to do on a Saturday afternoon.

But, I've made films in Japan, in Yugoslavia, all over Europe, all over the United States, Mexico, but not Hollywood.

I have one life. I am a certain age. I'm married to one person. I have a certain number of children. I won't have another life other than that, but I do have many lives through the films.

I mean, the truth of the matter is, I like the failures as much as I like the successes, it's only the world that doesn't like the failures.

Making films is much more difficult than people imagine, and so the experience of actually directing them is not one I've ever relished.

One wants to be able to experience being other people, remaking a reality, remaking a life, remaking a certain world.

They probably think the sun won't come up unless you're there to allow it.

May the crushed spirit revived.

The secret idea she was forming of an afterlife gave her the foothold she needed to endure the agonies to come, a newfound courage and optimism which found instant expression through SHOPPING.

My personal style falls between casual cool and meticulous slob. I'm most comfortable in jeans, but I love fashion.

I guess real maturity, which most of us never achieve, is when you realize that you're not the center of the universe.

If we live according to the law "an eye for an eye...," we will never escape from the spiral of evil.

We need to learn how to separate need from greed.

I had to change the shape of my own voice. It was quite hard to pull off and so once I had it, I stayed in Hitchcock's voice all day on set.

Those who were cowards never started, and those who were weak were lost on the way, but the brave find a home in every land.

Our bodies must always be wherever that struggle and the moment we forget that, the moment we become lazy, the moment we sit back, then then the evil ones do their ordained tasks to us.
