To deny women directors, as I suspect is happening in the States, is to deny the feminine vision.

Between 18 and 26 I acted professionally, on the stage and a little bit on television. Acting is okay, but it's quite pressurized. Then I went to England - I wanted to reinvent myself.

I would love to see more women directors because they represent half of the population and gave birth to the whole world. Without them the rest [of the world] are not getting to know the whole story.

I have to admit that I had a lot of problems with poetry.

What I have learned from my work up to now, is to try to be open, but also protect myself by not letting the good and the evil get too much importance.

I fell in love again (laughs).

And, I mean, I think poetry does need to be met to some extent, especially, I guess, 19th century poetry, and for me, it's just been so worth the effort. It's like I'm planting a garden in my head.
