“The body, I have often thought, is like a promise. You keep things in it. Those things are covert, immediate, yours. There is something lustrous about them. They emit energy, like radium or appliances. They can be replaced, repaired or simply discarded. The promise of the body is very firm and intact. It's the only promise we can count on, and we can't really count on it very much.”

“I'm happy that my films were discovered by chance by foreign film festivals. That makes me realise more that there is a world outside Japan too.

But for me as a director, my attitude towards making films hasn't changed with the fame. I feel it's not good to change as a person anyway”

It's wonderful if a film becomes successful as a result of the enjoyment that we had”

“I don't think about the audience, I don't think about what makes them happy, because there's no way for me to know. To try to think of what makes for entertainment is a very Japanese thing. The people who think like this are old-fashioned. They think of the audience as a mass, but in fact every person in the audience is different. So entertainment for everyone doesn't exist”
