The film of tomorrow will be an act of love.

Is the cinema more important than life?

In love, women are professionals, men are amateurs.

I have always preferred the reflection of the life to life itself.

I've always had the impression that real militants are like cleaning women, doing a thankless, daily but necessary job.

During the war, I saw many films that made me fall in love with the cinema.

At first, I wasn't sure whether I'd be a critic or a filmmaker, but I knew it would be something like that.

I had thought of writing, actually, and that later on I'd be a novelist.

I'd skip school regularly to see movies - even in the morning, in the small Parisian theaters that opened early.
