| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | [on Robert Bresson] There's something in the way Bresson makes films which puts me in mind of a certain French tradition that comes from Racine. I don't really think that I was influenced by Bresson, but I would say that I wish I had been. |
| 2 | [on Brigitte Bardot] I have always felt that Brigitte Bardot has something of the quality of Alice in Wonderland. If we talk about "professional" players and "instinctive" ones, I definitely put her with the instinctive. Although the shooting of Vie privee (1962) is not a good souvenir, I did get interested in Brigitte from that first time I worked with her, because she had the quality that I'd put in the same category with the very young people I've directed. |
| 3 | You see the world much better through a camera. |
| 4 | I think predictability has become the rule and I'm completely the opposite -- I like spectators to be disturbed. |
| 5 | I tend to think that I repeat myself, so I try to resist the temptation to return to what I have already explored. |
| 6 | The longer I live, the less I trust ideas, the more I trust emotions. |
| 7 | It is only when memory is filtered through imagination that the films we make will have real depth. |
