I did important films when I was very young.

If you try to measure the future, you will never risk the present. Playing it safe. A ghastly game.

The story is more important to me than the part.

That's what I like about film-it can be bizarre, classic, normal, romantic. Cinema is to me the most versatile thing.

Prostitution happens to you because of troubles you had. In reality no woman would choose to do that.

Mississippi Mermaid was a very special experience because we only had the dialogues for the scenes we were shooting the night before.

Sometimes it's more difficult to do very simple, low-key films.
