The tool of every self-portrait is the mirror. You see yourself in it. Turn it the other way, and you see the world .

You can buy a good pasta but when you cook it yourself it has another feeling.

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 don't believe in inspiration that arrives like a bolt from the blue ... It seems to me that the more motivated I am by what I film, the more objectively I film.

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

When I started I did not know I wanted to be a filmmaker. I started - I made a film. Then when I finished I said, Oh my god it's so beautiful - I should be a filmmaker!

I quit seeing some people who were saying bad things about women; I don't even want to meet them or see them.
