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 wanted to speak strongly about feminism in my life, since it's been a struggle.

I think I did fifteen long features and fifteen documentaries, or something like this, which is very little when you think of people making a film every year. Some people have done fifty or sixty films.

I'd been educated stupidly, I knew nothing about nothing, that's part of being shy.

I call [ordinary people] real people, because they have in themselves an incredible treasure - stories, a way of speaking, a way of sharing, an innocence and a perversity which I find very interesting to discover little by little.

I'm missing some people, you know, and this is not nostalgia. I miss them. This is melancholy.

Humor is such a strong weapon, such a strong answer.
