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.

You know, an hour and fifty-four minutes is too much for audiences. They get nervous.

It's nice to think that we have in ourselves the energy. It's somewhere, but it's sleeping sometimes. I try to wake it up when I need it.

I've seen many films, and many beautiful films. And I try to keep a certain level of quality of my films. I don't do commercials, I don't do films pre-prepared by other people, I don't do star system. So I do my own little thing.

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

My company is called Ciné-Tamaris, which is rosemary. That's my speed. Hot water and herb.

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