“I sit with my editor at every stage of the cutting. I feel editing to be one of the most vital and exciting aspects of filmmaking. Although my films are largely cut in the camera, there is still a lot of room left for refinements, especially in scenes of dialogue involving cutting back and forth between actors. Often a scene like this would be cut and re-cut several times until a final, satisfactory form has been achieved. Even after twenty-five years of filmmaking, I can truthfully say that I learn something new about the nature of cinema every time I cut a film with my editor.” — Satyajit Ray

![When [The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie] had been nominated for an Oscar, four Mexican reporters tracked us down at El Paular, where we were already at work on another project. During lunch, they asked if I thought I was going to win that Oscar.
“Of course,” I replied between bites. “I’ve already paid the twenty-five thousand dollars they wanted. Americans may have their weaknesses, but they do keep their promises.”
A few days later, headlines in Mexico City announced that I’d bought the Oscar. Los Angeles was scandalized; telexes poured in; Silberman flew over in a rage from Paris. I assured him it was all a joke, but it took quite a while for the dust to settle. Ironically, the film did win an Oscar three weeks later.
