# Quote 1 To make an American film is the dream of every European film-maker. 2 The best way to become crazy completely is to say, Okay we'll do a movie to change society. 3 I made Z (1969), first, because I am Greek-born. Secondly, because I felt I would like to do something. Some people sign petitions, others go to the streets - I do something as a filmmaker.
