Francois Truffaut

Hitchcock loves to be misunderstood, because he has based his whole life around misunderstandings.

When humor can be made to alternate with melancholy, one has a success, but when the same things are funny and melancholic at the same time, it's just wonderful.

If I have some free time, I leave Paris with some books about the cinema. If I'm not filming, I'm watching films.

I prefer to be busy all day long, and when you work for someone else, you're not busy enough.

The film of tomorrow will resemble the person who made it, and the number of spectators will be proportional to the number of friends the director has.

The film of tomorrow appears to me as even more personal than an individual and autobiographical novel, like a confession, or a diary.
