I like to be in a huis clos, as the French say - in one place. It's something that in general can create a bit of claustrophobia. But for me, claustrophobia becomes almost immediately claustrophilia. I love it!

From Bernardo Bertolucci

I like that 3D is based on the fact that you look with two eyes, so two cameras imitate that.

From Bernardo Bertolucci

What happened in the late Fifties, early Sixties in French cinema was a fantastic revolution. I was in Italy, but completely in love with the nouvelle vague movement, and directors like Godard, Truffaut, Demy. 'The Dreamers' was a total homage to cinema and that love for it.

From Bernardo Bertolucci

There's no more film; now everything's digital. I welcome this. It's fantastic for me to have a new chance.

From Bernardo Bertolucci

I haven't made a movie for a while, but I've watched a lot. It's my major waste of time. I like to work, but also to be waiting for work.

From Bernardo Bertolucci

You live day by day. You can't build your life.

From Bernardo Bertolucci

Sometimes you are in sync with the times, sometimes you are in advance, sometimes you are late.

From Bernardo Bertolucci

I don't see my movies. I think it's healthier and safer to keep a bit of distance. I'm afraid to be disappointed.

From Bernardo Bertolucci

I am in love with the idea of doing a movie in 3D. I think 3D would be great in a kind of realistic normal story without throwing objects to the camera, but using the 3D on the emotions in an intimate story.

From Bernardo Bertolucci

I accept all interpretations of my films. The only reality is before the camera. Each film I make is kind of a return to poetry for me, or at least an attempt to create a poem.
