I've been related to everything. Even the production; I knew how much it cost, I knew where the money went. It didn't last long, because hierarchy came back again.

Sometimes there is a great intimacy between women without any homosexuality. This is something that men are less likely to understand, because for them sensuality means sexual. It doesn't excite us to imagine two men together.

For me it's not possible to forget, and I don't understand people who, when the love is ended, can bury the other person in hatred or oblivion. For me, a man I have loved becomes a kind of brother.

All fiction becomes autobiographical when the author has true talent.

Some children I have met are very beautiful. Some children are imbeciles, vulgar, terrible.

I have always had the urge to open forbidden doors: with a curiosity and an obstinacy that verge on masochism.
