I want an actor to try to give me what I ask in the best and most exact way possible. He mustn't try to find out more, because then there's the danger that he'll become his own director.
Sometimes actors' mistakes give me ideas I can use, because mistakes are always sincere, absolutely sincere.
I never think in terms of alienation; it's the others who do. Alienation means one thing to Hegel, another to Marx and yet another to Freud; so it is not possible to give a single definition, one that will exhaust the subject. It is a question bordering on philosophy, and I'm not a philosopher nor a sociologist. My business is to tell stories, to narrate with images - nothing else. If I do make films about alienation - to use that word that is so ambiguous - they are about characters, not about me.
I can't give any absolute definition of what love is, or even whether it ought to exist.
In any case, the idea of giving "all" of reality is overly simple and absurd.
