It's always been a lie that it's difficult to make films.

I'm much calmer. We had a lot of time problems going to Cannes. The print was ready one day before it was shown. Now I feel very good.

I encouraged the cast to make up their own lines.

If you examine the history of the cinema the way I'm constantly doing, I've tried to seek some of the lightness and enjoyment possessed by the films I refer to.

Visible good easily becomes trite; visually there is very little material left-you know, you make a sunbeam pass over a character or a situation and it becomes far too pathetic and banal.

I have maneuvered my way through four or five different types of cancer that I completely succumbed to. It's amazing how many probable types of cancer can arise when hypochondria permits.

It is more difficult to manipulate with film than, for instance, video. The problem with video is that it gives you a thousand possibilities.

I also wanted t do a film with a religious motif, a film about miracles. At the same time, I wanted to do a completely naturalistic film.

I don't worship Catholicism for Catholicism's own sake. I have felt the need to experience a sense of belonging with a religious community, because my parents were convinced atheists.

One morning I greeted the cast naked in the front drive and insisted that today was to be a nude day. No, we didn't have any nudity problems.

My transgression, which I have confessed to countless times, that I used stand-ins in the sex-scene is also of a grave nature because it was essential for me to include that effect. Again this means that you are manipulating-that you want to control things.

I haven't kept myself from manipulating the film in post-production, both technically and in the colours. If I had been faithful to my own theory, I perhaps shouldn't have done that. But I did feel a need to give myself parameters, and it is in that spirit that the manifesto came into being.

When I was in film school, it was said that all good films were characterised by some form of humour.

When I was younger, I was fascinated by David Bowie, for example. he had created an entire myth around himself. It was as important as his music.

I've taken the circuitous path of being interested in people.

Perhaps it sounds pretentious, but in one way or another I hope that you can see that every image contains an idea. It certainly sounds presumptuous-and perhaps it's also untruthful. But as I see it, every image and every cut is thought out. They are not there by chance.

The problem about a musical is that it's a little hard to swallow that suddenly they're like dum-dee-dee-dum-dum this is always a little difficult.

Evil gives you far more strings to pull. But I must say that I have never been interested in the psychology of evil, not in the slightest. Perhaps I'm not interested in evil, but in the dark sides of human beings.

Far be it from me to force anyone into either chess or dressage, but if you choose to do so yourself, in my opinion there is only one way: follow the rules.

A load of cinematic effects that otherwise seem easy or cheap to me suddenly become difficult again... can't you hear that this is the only right way of doing it?
