“You can tell how good a filmmaker is if you can turn the sound down but you can still feel the story.”

I am recognizing that the voice inside my head Is urging me to be myself, but never follow someone else Because opinions are like voices, we all have a different kind.

Well Vin says that there’s something behind all this, right? Some evil force of doom or whatever? Well, if I were said force of doom, then I certainly wouldn’t have used my powers to turn the land black. It just lacks flair. Red. Now, that would be an interesting color.

There’s divinity within because we come from the divine, A force that’s not seen, but you feel it every time: When the wind blows, and the world turns, And the rain drops, and the baby cries, And the bird flies, and the ground quake, And the stars gleam.

I believe that it is this quality that draws people to come and see a film, and that it is the hope of attaining this quality that inspires the filmmaker to make his film in the first place.

I don’t try to make a place in history at all! People put me in the history of cinema because my first film, La pointe-courte, was so ahead of some other filmmakers.

When I started I did not know I wanted to be a filmmaker. I started – I made a film. Then when I finished I said, Oh my god it’s so beautiful – I should be a filmmaker!

Many filmmakers have made resurgent work, and I was just a little ahead of the time.

There are certain artists and filmmakers who, I get the impression, are trying to show off how bad their characters can be, how immoral their characters can be.

I’m a filmmaker, I’m a storyteller, an entertainer, if you will, so what can I do to participate?

I’m pretty committed to being a filmmaker because it incorporates everything I love: music, art direction, story, and you know – everything.

I think, as a filmmaker, it’s important to be honest with yourself at all times in terms of what’s working and what’s not.
