I have no desire for any type of introspection at all. I don't ever ask myself any questions. I don't want answers.
For certain things, certain audiences, people will laugh. And in other places, there's dead silence. And I enjoy them both. You try to make films where it's never one way - like life.
Life is beautiful. Really, it is. Full of beauty and illusions. Life is great. Without it, you'd be dead.
After 100 years, films should be getting really complicated. The novel has been reborn about 400 times, but it's like cinema is stuck in the birth canal.
I never cared so much about making perfect sense. I wanted to make perfect nonsense.
Often the biggest dreamers get hurt the most. They were pure in their insanity and in their isolation. They were living the dream amongst themselves and didn’t realize it. It’s when they invited the public inside their world that everything went wrong.
I'm not a video brat. I don't derive all my inspiration through movies. I get it from a lot of other places, too.
I never feel like there's any one point to the film, to anything, to any of the movies I've made.
I never cared about making one coherent masterpiece with a conventional narrative. I always wanted my movies to have images falling from all directions in a vaudevillian way. If you didn't like what was happening in one scene, you could just snooze through it until the next scene.
