Roman Polanksi doesn't understand why people retire.
The 80-year-old director insists he has no plans to give up working anytime soon because his "passion" for filmmaking motivates him to continue working.
Polanksi told Variety.com: "I never really imagined how one can retire. What do you do? Gardening? No, no, I feel really happy when I'm working. I think the best moments in my life are when I work. It was my passion when I was a young man, and it remains my passion."
Roman has helmed a number of iconic films throughout his career, including 1968 psychological horror 'Rosemary's Baby' and world war two drama 'The Pianist' in 2002, which are memorable achievements.
He gushed: "I feel probably the way a carpenter feels when he's making a beautiful chair and seeing the result of his work. The work itself is satisfying, the process of getting the result."
Polanksi also claims he is willing to "suffer" to work on projects he is passionate about.
He added: "It's more difficult to do what I'm doing, but maybe that confirms the concept that an artist should suffer in order to do something interesting."

Chris Evans will direct another film in August.
The 32-year-old actor made his directorial debut with '1:30 Train' which is currently in post-production and is planning on stepping behind the camera in the near future but hasn't decided what kind of project he wants to take on.
He told collider.com: "I will do another movie in August and I just don't know what it is yet. I got a couple [of scripts] that I'm reading and I told my team just send me everything. Because I've got the whole movie of 'Avengers', I'm literally going to London and I'm just going to be reading scripts. I'm going to find something else and I'm going to do it."
The 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' star admitted he likes human dramas which "aren't too fantastical" yet people are able to relate to the characters.
Evans added: "I like stories about brothers and sisters, fathers and sons, mothers, daughters, boyfriends, girlfriends. Human stories, like Terms of Endearment. Ordinary People. Just dramas- drama, but things that are just relatable. Things that aren't too fantastical. It doesn't have to be about wild drug dealers and car chases and bank robberies. Just simple stories that can resonate on a profound level."

Charlize Theron is in talks for Sean Penn's 'The Last Space'.
The 38-year-old actress is expected to join 'Blue Is the Warmest Color' star Adele Exarchapoulos in the feature about the refugee camps in Sudan which is being helmed by Penn.
According to The Wrap, several weeks ago the blonde beauty's representative said her participation was "premature" and since then there have been no comments on her role in the forthcoming film which is in the early stages of production.
Meanwhile, Theron and Penn who are said to be moving in together are reportedly planning to adopt and the South African actress is eager for her son Jackson, two - who is also adopted - to have a brother or sister.
A source previously said: "Charlize was an only child and always wished for a brother or sister. It's important to her that Jackson have a brother or sister."
Penn - who has grown up daughter Dylan, 23, and son Hopper, 20, with his ex-wife Robin Wright - is said to be particularly keen to adopt from Haiti, the island where he has done much charity work since it was hit by an earthquake in 2010.

Jennifer Garner says the 'Daft Day' cast were turned into Cleveland Browns fans after filming.
The 41-year-old actress stars opposite Kevin Costner in the story which follows the American football team on the first day of the NFL (National Football League) draft and insists the team's fans who were needed during shoots were so enthusiastic that it rubbed off on them.
She told collider.com: "We shot something where we needed Cleveland fans to show up in body make-up and in their Cleveland gear. So many people showed up. We needed them to stay for a full day - 12 hours - standing outside. They showed up, they cheered every take. It was more about keeping them tamped down than it was ever needing to say 'OK guys, Sorry, just to match your energy from 5 hours ago we need you to boost up.' We never had to say that. They were good to go. Their love for the Browns was so huge it turned us all into Cleveland Browns fans for sure."
Garner also gushed about her co-star Costner, who is loved by everyone.
She added: "In Cleveland he went to a baseball game one day, just quietly sitting by himself up at the top, the bleachers, eating peanuts. Eventually the camera found him, when they showed him on the tron - whatever that thing is - the whole place stood up and cheered for him.
Everyone is a huge fan of Kevin Costner's, he's just beloved."
