I Think I Have Made Just One

People Ask What Are My Intentions With My Films - My Aims. It Is A Difficult And Dangerous Question, And I Usually Give An Evasive Answer.

I Know, Of Course, That By Using Film We Can Bring In Other Previously Unknown Worlds, Realities Beyond Reality.

I Am Conscious About Myself And Everything, And Then Suddenly, Or Slowly, My Conscious Fades Out. Switches Off. And It's Not Existing, And That's A Marvelous Feeling. That From Existing, I Am Not Existing. And At That Moment, Nothing Can Happen To Me.

I Am Living Permanently In My Dream, From Which I Make Brief Forays Into Reality.

Among Today's Directors I'm Of Course Impressed By Steven Spielberg And Scorsese, And Coppola, Even If He Seems To Have Ceased Making Films, And Steven Soderbergh - They All Have Something To Say, They're Passionate, They Have An Idealistic Attitude To The Filmmaking Process. Soderbergh's Traffic Is Amazing. Another Great Couple Of Examples Of The Strength Of American Cinema Is American Beauty And Magnolia.
