People like my films. They understand me through my films; it's like a connection that has been established between all my work and myself and the audience and the viewer.

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

I know people could tell incredible stories. People have been in concentration camps, or women being raped, or a man going to war and not recovering from it. People have been robbed and beaten. A lot of people have had strong events in their life, which I didn't.

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

It's peaceful to think about the family as a group. I totally believe in extended families.

I hated myself totally white. So now I cheat. It's my white hair, and I put color there. My grandson says I'm punk.

The tool of every self-portrait is the mirror. You see yourself in it. Turn it the other way, and you see the world .
