I Was Born At A Bad Time

I'm A Very Dull Passenger. I Don't Speak. I Don't Have Sex. No Alcohol. I Don't Do Drugs. The Thing That I Like About Flying Is That I Feel Like I Can Really Concentrate. I Used To Write Many Things, And Many Ideas For My Movies Belong To This Moment Where I'm Not Anywhere Specifically In Terms Of Time And Space And Geography. I Am Suspended, And This Suspension Fits Me Very Well.

The 1980s Really Ended For Me In 1992 With The Film Kika.

My Mother Was An Extremely Creative Woman, Despite The Fact That She Lived The Life Of A Rural Housewife.

I Don't Want The Director To Have To Make Any Decisions Except To Say "action" And "cut."

All My Movies Have An Autobiographical Dimension, But That Is Indirectly, Through The Characters. In Fact I Am Behind Everything That Happens And That Is Said, But I Am Never Talking About Myself In First Person. Something In Me - Probably A Dislike Of Cheap Exhibitionism- Stops Me From Approaching A Project Too Autobiographically.
