The whole showmanship is NOT to answer every question.

It's easy to direct while acting; there's one less person to argue with.

I know that atmosphere of the Parisian apartment building, with the twin menaces of the concierge on the ground floor and the landlord upstairs.

If I had killed somebody, it wouldn't have had so much appeal to the press, you see? But f-ing, you see, and the young girls. Judges want to f- young girls. Juries want to f- young girls. Everyone wants to f- young girls!

I don't know anyone who is not using drugs for the reason that they're illegal.

Roman Polanski 81 quotes

I sometimes cry in the moments...

I sometimes cry in the moments that are not necessarily dramatic or tragic in the films, often because of the music. I wonder whether it's the music that has that effect on you in this film.

To the audience it doesn't really matter how much the director struggled with an actor. It's the result that counts.

When I really love a movie, I don't want to spoil it by too frequent visits. But I like to come back to certain films, which I admire.

It's very important to set your place in a concrete environment. I think Chekhov said that the important thing when you have a play or any kind of novel is to set the roots in a concrete place.

I admire actors for their infinite patience. That's why they need all those trailers and all their crowd of people who pamper them. But it is a drag to get up sometimes at 4:30 in the morning and get into makeup, and wait forever until they call you onto the set.

I simply think there's life after movies. I have to adhere to this philosophy, and therefore I like other things, and I have other passions. None are as big as movie-making, but they exist.

I like skiing, among other things, because I have moments when I am alone in the mountains. That's fantastic, when there's nobody around you. You see miles around you, and the sun is almost down .

Roman Polanski 81 quotes

The torches ran off, and I found myself in a forest, at night, without any light, on skis, and that was not fun - particularly because I was drunk. Luckily at some point I started to see the light of the ski lift. To be in the forest in the middle of the night, it's terrible.

With each film, i need an artistic challenge so I don't get bored! I like to tackle challenges.

I don't rehash the past. It's my baggage. That's all. I accept things as they are.

Some experience is helpful. 'The Pianist' was a film that I could make with my eyes closed because I had lived it and everything was still alive in me.

I consider myself more a craftsman than an artist.

I would love to make a film about aging that would take place before the war. It would follow the stages in the life of a woman who would not have at her disposal the resources of today like cosmetic surgery, creams and pills.
