In any art movement, the art has to move into a new phase - a filmmaker has a desire to make a film that is not like a previous film. ↗

Take a film of Jacques Tati like Mon Oncle which has something quite new - for me, unique - in it. ↗

I feel very proud that we have managed to stay together. In these forty years we have made forty-six films. Each one has brought a certain name and contribution to cinema. ↗

In the past, when I shot films about fishermen and hunters, I always had to admire their ability to perceive time in its entirety. The present was always temporary. ↗

I preferred delivering my performance in person. I liked to be in control. You couldn't be in films. ↗

I wasn't the kind of kid like Spielberg or Lucas who knew to go to film school. I didn't know at 12 what I was going to do; it took me until I was about 23. I studied journalism in college, but after school, I got a job in public television and I never worked as a journalist for one moment. ↗

Being part of 'Natural Nylon' is a great way to have an influence on the films that get out there. I love films and it gives me an input. ↗

I don't think any actor has the luxury of knowing exactly what scripts are going to turn out well and what ones aren't. It would be wonderful to have that particular skill, and maybe people like Tom Cruise have it more than most, but you go into each project hoping that a good, if not great, film will come out the other end. ↗

Theater is just so much more satisfying than film or television just because you deliver the whole thing from start to finish in one evening, and you can tell if people have enjoyed it or not. That's great to do every night to go in front of a full room of people and tell the story. There's nothing like that really. ↗
