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.

The story of a couple is always very fragile, especially over more than thirty years. People know it's not easy, and even though you have strong feeling and desire and endless love, it doesn't always happen.

I have respect for literature. If he found the words, if she found the words - this is a book!

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

I didn't go to film school. I was never an assistant or trainee on a film. I had not seen all those cameras. So I think it gave me a lot of freedom.

If I was tall and blonde, I might have been a dancer or singer.

I'm trying to capture something more fragile than a regular story. I love what people bring me.
