I never met Publo Picasso. I took pictures at the Festival d'Avignon, but I was too shy to ask to go in his studio. It does not look like me now, but I was very shy, and shy of men also. I think there was a world that frightened me totally.

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 should say nothing! I'm through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time.

Society is so slow. A feminist is a bore.

I thought, If I'm an ancestor and grandmother when I'm twenty-five, I should go peacefully to the real time when I'm an ancestor and a grandmother.

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

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