The void Papa's death left in me became a kind of cavity, into which later experiences were to be laid.

You see that a lot in movies, and today you see it more in movies that are made, because I feel more movies are made towards groups than towards individuals, and they're made more for mass media than for sitting in a movie house allowing it to happen.

If a person is found dead here, a postmorten will always reveal whether he has spent less than three weeks in the city. That is the length of time it takes this pollution to invade the body, after which it is there forever.

I have the experience of age and suffering.

The best thing that can come with success is the knowledge that it is nothing to long for.

It is tough to be a woman. Also as an actor, but more so as a director. And even more today, when distributors and producers are looking at different kinds of films and maybe not necessarily what a woman would want to do.

I can't expect people to decide that they will change with me, so I can see why I'm on the old side.
