The cliche is that life is a mountain. You go up, reach the top and then go down.

Every night I go over what I did in the day, in ethical or moral terms. Have I treated people properly? Did I tell the truth?

Although for some people cinema means something superficial and glamorous, it is something else. I think it is the mirror of the world.

Beyond the beauty, the sex, the titillation, the surface, there is a human being. And that has to emerge.

I need, absolutely, to be alone.

Usually when a woman is 60, it's over.

I have no doubt who I am.
