In Blow-up I Used My Head Instinctively!

I Dislike Judging Myself, But I Will Say I Would Be Wealthy Today If I Had Accepted All The Films That Have Been Offered To Me With Large Sums Of Money. But I've Always Refused, In Order To Do What I Felt Like Doing.

People Are Always Misquoting Me.

The Family Today Counts For Less And Less. Why? Who Knows - The Growth Of Science, The Cold War, The Atomic Bomb, The World War We've Made, The New Philosophies We've Created; Certainly Something Is Happening To Man, So Why Go Against It, Why Oblige This New Man To Live By The Mechanisms And Regulations Of The Past?

I Never Think In Terms Of Alienation; It's The Others Who Do. Alienation Means One Thing To Hegel, Another To Marx And Yet Another To Freud; So It Is Not Possible To Give A Single Definition, One That Will Exhaust The Subject. It Is A Question Bordering On Philosophy, And I'm Not A Philosopher Nor A Sociologist. My Business Is To Tell Stories, To Narrate With Images - Nothing Else. If I Do Make Films About Alienation - To Use That Word That Is So Ambiguous - They Are About Characters, Not About Me.

A Scene Has To Have A Rhythm Of Its Own, A Structure Of Its Own.
