Wendy Liebman

The child who defines a lie as being a "naughty word" knows perfectly well that lying consists in not speaking the truth. He is not, therefore, mistaking one thing for another, he is simply identifying them one with another by what seems to us a quaint extension of the word "lie".

I remember, the first time I saw a [Andrei] Tarkovsky film, I was shocked by it. I didn't know what to do.

Then others, like Kurosawa and Fellini, were like a new discovery for me, another country.
