Film is not about what you see, but what you make others see.

The only thing you have to know is how to trust your own unconscious, and that takes nerve.

Movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash, we have very little reason to be interested in them.

Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.

The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.

I dream for a living. That means I can turn my most painful experiences into the raw material for the films that may become my greatest successes.
