"I can’t get away from writing. In all my films there are people who send each other letters, a young girl who writes in her diary. Nor can I move from one place to another without explaining it on a map. That is simply not done anymore, but it’s in my character: to leave even one person uninformed distresses me. The taste for writing has been pursuing me ever since I concerned myself as a critic with the form of the screenplay. I didn’t think I would become a filmmaker but, rather, a scriptwriter."
