thinking years long
I think I did fifteen long features and fifteen documentaries, or something like this, which is very little when you think of people making a film every year. Some people have done fifty or sixty films.
children believe thinking
People think you are an orphan when you are a child, and don't believe that old people can feel that they are orphans.
strong ocean thinking
I never fought, I never learned kung fu or boxing, I never went into these sportif competitions. I wouldn't cross the ocean. I think it's ridiculous to take such risk. But look, people love to do that. But I was not afraid of doing things I wished to do. I did not think that woman would be restrained. I never saw that, especially not in filmmaking, where you don't have to be strong.
brother thinking way
I was a photographer first.I worked alone. I did it my way as much as I could. I have been sort of courageous about doing things, because I didn't think I should do less than my brothers.
thinking careers world
I had a world. I don't think I had a career. I made films.
thinking people film
I think I got people confidence because I was not looking at them like insects that I would film.
men thinking looks
I never met Publo Picasso. I took pictures at the Festival d'Avignon, but I was too shy to ask to go in his studio. It does not look like me now, but I was very shy, and shy of men also. I think there was a world that frightened me totally.
thinking enemy way
If you know nothing, it could be like an enemy in a way. I think that's the way I felt when I was young.
believe thinking peaceful
It's peaceful to think about the family as a group. I totally believe in extended families.
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.
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.
thinking people different
I think people should be different. I love people who don't go by the rule that you have to be careful because you're old, you have to do this and that, you have to eat this and that.
movie forever cinema
I live in cinema. I feel I've lived here forever.
