In Blow-up I Used My Head Instinctively!

I've Made Films About The Middle Classes Because I Know Them Best. Everyone Talks About What He Knows Best.

Nothing Regarding Man Is Ever Inhuman. That's Why I Make Films, Not Iceboxes.

Neorealism Taught Us To Follow The Characters With The Camera, Allowing Each Shot Its Own Real Interior Time. Well, I Became Tired Of All This; I Could No Longer Stand Real Time. In Order To Function, A Shot Must Show Only What Is Useful.

A Woman's Sex Appeal Is An Inner Matter. It Stems From Her Mental Make-up, Basically. It's An Attitude, Not Just A Question Of Her Physical Features - That Arrogant Quality In A Woman's Femininity. Otherwise, All Beautiful Women Would Have Sex Appeal, Which Is Not So.

Before Each New Setup, I Chase Everyone Off The Set In Order To Be Alone And Look Through The Camera. In That Moment, The Film Seems Quite Easy. But Then The Others Come In And Everything Becomes Difficult.
