The boundaries between contemporary art and cinema are so rigid. It's unbelievable. The film critics don't know my artwork and the art world doesn't know my films.

It's a way of living, cinema. And I see my family, I do this and that, I travel. It's a long process to let it happen.

I quit seeing some people who were saying bad things about women; I don't even want to meet them or see them.

I'm not interested in seeing a film just made by a woman - not unless she is looking for new images.

An old woman I loved very much when I was young - the wife of Jean Villard - she's just reciting poetry all the time, which is beautiful because it means she went back to the world of poetry that she loved when she was young. That's all she does - she almost doesn't recognize her children, but she recites Valéry and Baudelaire. So what? We're the ones who are suffering. She's not.

This is all you need in life: a computer, a camera, and a cat.

My company is called Ciné-Tamaris, which is rosemary. That's my speed. Hot water and herb.
