A visit to a cinema is a little outing in itself. It breaks the monotony of an afternoon or evening it gives a change from the surroundings of home however pleasant.

It's shocking to say but the cinema is quite a while away from me and I haven't got a car yet.

As soon as I get my car I think I'll be going to the cinema more. Since I don't go very often there are no films that are a must see at the moment. I usually wait till they come out on DVD.

This film business perhaps more so in America than in Europe has always been about young sexuality. It's not true of theatre but in America film audiences are young. It's not an intellectual cinema in America.

My duty is to try to reach beauty. Cinema is emotion. When you laugh you cry.

The whole aspect of cinema and film festivals should be a moment to come together and celebrate art and humanity. It would be a shame if there was such a divide.

Cinema is still a very young art form with extraordinary techniques and very impressive special effects but sometimes it seems the soul has been taken out of things.

I like it when somebody tells me a story and I actually really feel that that's becoming like a lost art in American cinema.

I think that narrative fiction filmmaking is the culmination of several art forms: theater art history architecture. Whereas doc filmmaking is more pure cinema like cinema verite is film in its purest form.

It's the golden age of French cinema again but it's because Sarkozy had the guts to push through copyright law.
