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.

The first exhibition [Publo Picasso] was organized by the communist party - because of his position during the war and all that.

If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes.

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!

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.

[Pablo] Picasso really changed my life. It's strange to say so, but I started to see some Picasso paintings very early. I was very young, and he was not so much known.

I live in cinema. I feel I've lived here forever.
