believe thinking peaceful
It's peaceful to think about the family as a group. I totally believe in extended families.
memories everyday special
Nostalgia doesn't make sense, because it's like bringing the memories back to be a special part of my day or to be part of my week. And I'm inside my memories the same way I'm inside my everyday life.
different persons
I cannot say something different to one person and then another.
school thinking assistants
I didn't go to film school. I was never an assistant or trainee on a film. I had not seen all those cameras. So I think it gave me a lot of freedom.
spring adventure trying
I've always been like this - trying to find adventure where it's still in its first élan - the first spring.
success
I had flops, I had success.
inspirational believe blue
I don't believe in inspiration that arrives like a bolt from the blue ... It seems to me that the more motivated I am by what I film, the more objectively I film.
littles watches film
I don't watch my own films. There is little time; I'd rather see another film.
feelings pasta cooks
You can buy a good pasta but when you cook it yourself it has another feeling.
thinking needs nests
I think we need to have a nest of something which is family.
nice sleep thinking
It's nice to think that we have in ourselves the energy. It's somewhere, but it's sleeping sometimes. I try to wake it up when I need it.
three cinema use
When I started my first film, there were three women directors in France. Their films were OK, but I was different. It's like when you start to jump and you put the pole very high - you have to jump very high. I thought, I have to use cinema as a language.
strong humor weapons
Humor is such a strong weapon, such a strong answer.
people interesting possibility
It's interesting work for me to tell my life, as a possibility for other people to relate it to themselves - not so much to learn about me.
