Maybe it's because my mother divorced and my grandmother divorced, so maybe I'm frightened deep down. But then I also feel there is no real need. Why do I need to get married? To reassure me? No I don't need reassurance.

I want to make films that are political and social. Films with a message or an idea. Films that dare to ask.

I'm not a dancer, so I have to find a movement that belongs to me. I dance within my limits and with my imagination.

My private life is very private, and I have chosen not to live in America or England, where you are so exposed and can't fight against it.

My aim was never to be an American star; otherwise, I would have moved to Los Angeles.

Ive never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didnt choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.

I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.
