“Every time I see this, where people choose the thing, I said why don't they looking up? They're lazy. This is very important for him because anything you want to know about this country and anything you know about the young people, anything you want to know about Cinema, anything you want to know about The Silence and what movement and what feeling of the woman, young girls, everything in this film is a very important movie, a long movie which is great. I wish it would be longer. Edward Yang.”

“Dekalog, in this film, ten stories. Of course, after the finish, give me some ideas. He shot it in 16 millimeter and there's a very not so much the camera work or this or that because you know what, they want to show it in TV. He don't want to show off distractive cinematics, but it's flowing and cinematically and very simple like Chekhov, you know, write that story without anything big but meaning of the life in it.”

“Look at these two. One of the reason I become director because I work in cinema from six years old. Nobody can do it like Bergman, nobody. He write the script but he see the film he's shooting but you see the editing as a result. Black and white in this film, something always black and white have some shadow, something make you crazy. And this three film, The Silence, one of the most modern fresh cinema, and I want to say Winter Light, one of the most important scene in the cinema.”

“Let me tell you about this. Of course Kurosawa in Japan long time ago, one time I have a chance to talk with him. He says anytime you get tired about life or something, he watched one of them from Satyajit Ray. If you like the film about yourself, about your life, about the people you know, about your family, about your heart, about what you lose what you get, and no matter what which country, which language, where, go with this. This is it.”
