Famous quotes by Takeshi Kitano:

"are beautiful. Mine are not."

"After all, cinema has been around for more than a century. There are many great masters. I feel like doing a very classical movie now, to challenge the giants."

"I want the spectators to feel like they are in another dimension of reality. I don't want my audience to understand every detail,"

"The film is ambiguous, an ambiguity that reflects on Japan today, and a world in which nothing is clear. Once I made the film, I realized it was about this feeling of vague disquiet in Japan and in the rest of the world, a feeling that is gaining on us, getting less vague."

"Sword fighting in film is not about how good the fighter is, but how good the actor receiving the blows is."

"One thing I hate in movies is when the camera starts circling around the characters. I find that totally fake."
