Everybody Knows That I Am

I Think That In Life, Being Is Nothing But An Illusion. If We Acknowledge That And Accept The Fact That We Are In Between States, That We Are Moving, And This Movement Is The Nature Of Our Lives, And We Stop Having Aspirations For Being In A Definite State, We Know Life Better And Are Able To Enjoy It Better.

This [the Earthquake] Was A Very Big Influence On Me, And The Issue Of Life And Death From Then On Does Recur In My Films.

The Fact Of Having This Very New Context, This Unheard-of Way Of Working, For Me Was Very Pleasant. I Didn't Feel That I Was Working, That I Had Any Kind Of Burden To Wear, To Carry. I Really Was Very Happy And Very Lighthearted During The Whole Process Of Making The Film [certified Copy], Of Shooting It.

Maybe More Than A Teller, I Am A Story Listener. I Really Enjoy Listening To Stories. I Remember Them And Keep Them In My Mind. All Of My Films Are A Collection Of Small Stories That Have Been Told To Me.

Therefore, When You See The End Result, It's Difficult To See Who's The Director, Me Or Them. Ultimately, Everything Belongs To The Actors - We Just Manage The Situation.
