. . . the whole idea of WHAT HAPPENED WAS.... is not about dating. It is more about people who are not committed to who they are or are indifferent about their life in general, which is how I felt about myself when I wrote it.

That's what I want to make movies about.

Of all my films, people wrote to me most about this one... ...I had wanted to make The Idiot long before Rashomon.

He is still my favourite author, and he is the one - I still think - who writes most honestly about human existence.
Walden is the only book I own, although there are some others unclaimed on my shelves. Every man, I think, reads one book in his life, and this is mine.
