Whenever I Get Happy, I Always Have

My Films Are The Expression Of Momentary Desires. I Follow My Instincts, But In A Disciplined Way.

Some Experience Is Helpful. "the Pianist" Was A Film That I Could Make With My Eyes Closed Because I Had Lived It And Everything Was Still Alive In Me.

I Would Love To Make A Film About Aging That Would Take Place Before The War. It Would Follow The Stages In The Life Of A Woman Who Would Not Have At Her Disposal The Resources Of Today Like Cosmetic Surgery, Creams And Pills.

I Consider Myself More A Craftsman Than An Artist.
