It has never been my object to record my dreams just the determination to realize them.

Dreams have always expanded our understanding of reality by challenging our boundaries of the real of the possible.

My dreams are all follies.

My professional dreams were coming true while I was living a personal nightmare.

Vain hopes are like certain dreams of those who wake.

In my wildest dreams I could not have imagined a sweeter life.

I think cinema is closer to allegories than to reality. It's closer to our dreams.

The buildings that I build very often have a dreamlike reality. I don't mean by that they have a fantasy quality at all in fact quite the reverse. They contain in some degree the ingredients that give dreams their power... stuff that's very close to us.

But I have been interested in dreams really since I was a kid. I have always been fascinated by the idea that your mind when you are asleep can create a world in a dream and you are perceiving it as though it really existed.

I've been interested in dreams since I as a kid and I've wanted to do a film about them for a long time.
