Quotes

Artists are the true heroes of every nation.

I invented the famous "Sonate de Vinteuil" for Time Regained, with the,following principle of tension: it begins in the style of Saint-Sans,and it ends with a Wagnerian thme choral.

For Raoul Ruiz, the music is equally important. When you go to see his,films, you also go to listen to the music and you could say that, in,many of his films, it is the image that complements the music - and not,the other way around. .
