I had flops, I had success.

Good cinema is good cinema. It makes you feel like you need to work. Just yesterday I saw a good film, but even if I'd seen a bad one, I'd feel, "Oh my god, what a bad job, I can do better."

I tried to find a language for the film - not just telling stories. I picked the Picasso painting because it said more than I could explain. I need images, I need representation which deals in other means than reality. We have to use reality but get out of it. That's what I try to do all the time.

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

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 was nineteen and I put a bowl on and I said, Cut around! Because it was not the fashion at the time when I did that hairdo - and I kept it all my life!

It's interesting work for me to tell my life, as a possibility for other people to relate it to themselves - not so much to learn about me.
