All My Movies Have An Autobiographical Dimension,

I'm Really A Nightmare For The Fashion Designer Because I Take Away All Of His Authority, And I Become The Authority, And I Turn Him Into My Assistant. You Could Say I Intervene, And I Intervene In A Very Determining Way In All The Aspects That Have To Do With The Visual Construction Of The Film.

I'm A Very Dull Passenger. I Don't Speak. I Don't Have Sex. No Alcohol. I Don't Do Drugs. The Thing That I Like About Flying Is That I Feel Like I Can Really Concentrate. I Used To Write Many Things, And Many Ideas For My Movies Belong To This Moment Where I'm Not Anywhere Specifically In Terms Of Time And Space And Geography. I Am Suspended, And This Suspension Fits Me Very Well.

I Tried To Think About These Two Issues Very Freely. With Sex, I Think I Can Manage With That. With Death, This Is A More Difficult Theme For Me. I'm Not A Believer, Even Though I'm Baptized. I Don't Practice. I Don't Believe In God, So I Feel Very Alone Facing Death. What I Discovered Is That The Only Way To Recognize Death Is If You Are Part Of Life, If You Are Part Of Sexual Pleasure, If You Link It With Sexual Pleasure.

If I Had Not Been Successful As A Director, Then I'm Sure I Would Still Be Telling Stories. I Would Have Continued On 16mm Or Found A Different Medium Through Which To Tell Them. Maybe They Would Have Been Less Glamorous Than Films, But I Would Continue To Tell Stories.

I'm More Interested To Show The Darkest Places Of Myself, And I Don't Joke About It.
