All my movies are difficult to classify because they are very eclectic in mixing genres.

When I start writing, the first line might come from reality, but the second and the third one, I have to write it. So this is the genesis of my creation. If I want to know what happens, if I want to find out the secret, I have to write it.

I'm a very dull passenger. I don't speak. I don't have sex. No alcohol. I don't do drugs. The thing that I like about flying is that I feel like I can really concentrate. I used to write many things, and many ideas for my movies belong to this moment where I'm not anywhere specifically in terms of time and space and geography. I am suspended, and this suspension fits me very well.

My mother was an extremely creative woman, despite the fact that she lived the life of a rural housewife.

I am partly not conscious of structure with my movies, but this is when I am writing. I leave my mind very free, and then I correct it after.

Anything that is not autobiography is plagiarism.

There is a mysterious stillness and intimacy of a woman doing her hair and make-up which attracts me.
