Listen, real poetry doesn't say anything; it just ticks off the possibilities. opens all doors. you can walk through any one that suits you.

I think in art, but especially in films, people are trying to confirm their own existences.

I'm interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity that appears to have no meaning. it seems to me to be the road toward freedom.

Each generation wants new symbols, new people, new names. they want to divorce themselves from their predecessors.

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. you trade in your reality for a role. you give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.

The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. they force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder.

We fear violence less than our own feelings. personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.

I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. you are free.

I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being with the soul of a clown which always forces me to blow it at the most important moments.

We fear violence less than our own feelings. personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.
