At my age the only problem is with remembering names. When I call everyone darling, it has damn all to do with passionately adoring them, but I know I'm safe calling them that. Although, of course, I adore them too.

I think it is obscene that we should believe that we are entitled to end somebody's life, no matter what that person has supposedly done or not done.

When I'm directing a movie, nothing else matters.

I never want to make the kind of film whose impact ends when the audience leaves the cinema.

There's nothing more important in making movies than the screenplay.

You act in a movie, and at the end of the day, the director and editor decide what your performance is.
