I cannot say something different to one person and then another.

At that time, when I started, in the '50s, cinema was very classical in its aims.

I think we need to have a nest of something which is family.

I had a world. I don't think I had a career. I made films.

In my films I always wanted to make people see deeply. I don't want to show things, but to give people the desire to see.

When I started my first film, there were three women directors in France. Their films were OK, but I was different. It's like when you start to jump and you put the pole very high - you have to jump very high. I thought, I have to use cinema as a language.

To share a lot of ideas - not ideas - emotions, a way of looking at people, a way of looking at life. If it can be shared, it means there is a common denominator.
