My father was absent and he was a hero to me.

In many ways, when you're young and sexy, it's very annoying to be whistled at and to have someone always trying to attract your attention, but now when it happens I find myself registering the fact almost warmly.

I avoided nudity unless a film couldnt be told without those scenes. If you look at my films, few of them have that element, yet nudity and male fantasies have become emblematic of my work.

I have invested some money and I have a home, but people don't realise that you might only be working for a few weeks of the year and remain unemployed the rest of the time.

I have done everything I can to make sure my daughter knows her father because you form your own identity by rebelling against your parents - but first you have to know them.

Theatre is a sacred space for actors. You are responsible; you are in the driving-seat.

I look for people who're passionate, dedicated to the text, and in whom I trust completely.
