I can work in films as long as the story doesn't have a realistic nature. If I'm working with an allegory, a fantasy, it can be developed in synthetic terms.
What's better, a poetic intuition or an intellectual work? I think they complement each other.
I learned more from the one restaurant that didn't work than from all the ones that were successes.
I was kicked out of school because of my attitude. I was not assimilating. So I went to work, taking any jobs I could get.
You work your butt off and somebody says you can't have your record played because it offends them. Tyrants are made of such stuff.
The black groups that boycott certain films would do better to get the money together to make the films they want to see, or stay in church and leave us to our work.
I would work as a cook, get a little money, then open another restaurant.
We're working people, and that's what we like to do, work.
George Lucas was casting about and had heard favourable things about my work in Clockwork Orange and asked me to come in, which of course I did even though no one knew what the film was about!
But I must say the work I'm proudest of is the Green Cross Code man.
Every reader finds himself. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have seen in himself.
I find it satisfying and intellectually stimulating to work with the intensity, brevity, balance and word play of the short story.
I always work the same way, starting from the beginning of the weekend, so I know at the beginning of the race, from all that I have analysed during the practice, whether I will win the race or not.
I have no problem with the people who work hard to get success. But I think people are very jealous about success. I work very hard and they don't appreciate that.
You want to have fun but you also want to work well. Sometimes I was quite happy at Ferrari, because we would have fun, but then they could not stop having fun and go back to the real work.
