I've always had the sensation that people in America are always avant-garde. Very attentive to all the new innovations. But it's very specialized.

We're talking a very cultivated people, but I found as cultivated as they were, they were uninformed about the personages who weren't American. They knew everything about America, but much less about other countries.

When you manage to express something with a look and the music instead of saying it with words or having the character speak, I think it's a more complete work.

I think even in American schools, they must be studying in a specialized manner.

It's very easy with the camera to show the positive side of something.

Sometimes, I even recite the role to the actor if it's not clear. And I beg them not to imitate me, because I'm not a good actor.

Whoever would like to look and see what someone is saying behind all the show, glitter, scenery, whatever it may be, and see what ideas are being expressed beyond and below and above that, can do that, as well.
