"The truth is, I never go out to dinner with any of the people I work with in my films, or see them in any private circumstances. My life is the life of an artist — I travel and I build up my productions. I go to a lot of places in order to have my work produced. I hang out with actors much much less than any other director. It’s not that I don’t think they’re interesting human beings. But I believe that keeping a certain distance is very healthy; otherwise my ability to build up a certain critique of their performance is diminished. It is my professional duty to be at many art events, but I don’t hang out at Hollywood parties. You know, we could discuss the fact that so many of the art-world events are trying really badly to replicate Hollywood glamour. Which I find very ridiculous, because being in my position, I know the Hollywood structure, and I know about the fashion world, and I know how those industries are very well oiled in their ways of building strategies of hype, expectation, and success. So for me, seeing the art world trying to replicate that, I just have to smile".
