"Our cinema is new because the Brazilian man is new and the problems of this country are new and new is our light and therefore our films are born different from the cinemas of Europe. "

"In Brazil, the Cinema Novo is a matter of truth and not of photographism. In our point of view, the camera is an eye over the world, the travelling is an instrument of understanding, the editing is not demagogy, but the punctuation of our ambitious discourse about the human and social reality in Brazil!"

"The colonization cannot be cracked in Hollywood, which can hire the work of many Brazilian directors. The important thing, though, is not to make personal carreer. What is important is to have consciousness. What is fundamental is to fight to liberate the national market."

" Fortunately, the Cinema Novo did not loose its mind in provincial vanity, after having cracked the cultural colonization in the very birthplace of colonization."

"Cinema is, first of all, an industry, even if it is driven against industry."
