I'm getting a little bored by the juxtaposition of American and other cinema. I no longer think this division is as true as it might have been in the 1980s, or the early part of the 90s.

Pina Bausch's motto was "Dance, otherwise we are lost." She really meant it, that dance was her answer to life and to the troubles and to the problems that can arise. That was her way to deal with everything, to dance.

For us music is mainly part of the entertainment world and is often a luxury.

I sometimes feel fiction is the ideal preservation for real memories. Fiction is such a good place to keep things.
