My only ambition is to be true every moment I am living.

When you make a film, it's a bet. You don't know how the film is going to be, anyway.

I would have loved to have met Marilyn Monroe and have dinner with her.

I try to see my films just once. It's like a dream you've been through when it's been intense, and you just have to go through it once more just to make sure you've had it.

I'm not obsessed by looks. I think you can become a prisoner of your own image.

Choosing to be in the theatre was a way to put my roots down somewhere with other people. It was a way to choose a new family.

I have stories that I'd like to maybe one day consider directing, but you need a lot of time to write and put it together.
