If people do not laugh it's not comedy.
I am not very tough with raising my children, but you can argue that to be more tough will help your children.
I did a lot of strange things. But I am a bad Catholic that's for sure. Although I think it's difficult to believe in evil.
You could say that when you introduce humour to your work, you also step back a little from it. You create a distance
Only a fool does not fear actors, but you can't beat them, and if you can't beat them, join them, as they say. As I've got older I've become very interested in that part of the work
You know, I really do have some morals. I do actually care about people. And I do have a political standpoint.

I am very romantic about communism even still, but I know terrible things happened.
There is no creative expression of artistic value that has ever been produced by ex-drunkards and ex-drug-addicts. Who the hell would bother with a Rolling Stones without booze or with a Jimi Hendrix without heroin?
I’m having a vacation and it’s so beautiful and maybe I’ll never get another film idea in my life.
I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology.
If I made a musical in the beginning of my career, it would have been crane shots and tracking shots and people coming out of cakes and whatever, but these techniques are something that I’ve left behind me.
