Quotes

• “First of all, directing is an idea that you have of a total flow of images that are going on, which are incidentally actors, words, and objects in space. It's an idea you have of yourself, like the idea you have of your own personality which finds its best representation in the world in terms of specific flows of imaginary images. That's what directing is.”
• “It was a great pleasure to make a movie again. Nothing is better; perhaps revolution, but there you have to succeed and be right, dangers which never attach themselves to making movies, and dreaming.”
• “What are you gonna do? Kill me? Everybody dies.”
• “What do you mean "gangsters"? It's business.”
• “Yeah, yeah, I know I got rid of the headache. Now I got cancer.”
• “"What you doin' with such a big ol' dog in New York?" "Never had a wife."”
