experience powerful
I have always said that innocence is much more powerful than experience.
directed experience scary studied vulnerable
I have never directed anything for the stage. I studied for three years in the theater, and it was a very, very scary experience to direct live, being so vulnerable without the possibility to control things, to be so exposed.

experience extension few numerous virtues vital
My cinema is an extension of myself. A sort of life-testimony of my vital experience, with my few virtues and my numerous limitations.
experience good learned liberating terrifies
I learned with 'Birdman' that it's liberating when you just lose yourself and go after something that terrifies you. The experience was so good.
best critic experience festivals films good maybe sixteen supposedly twenty watch
Nowadays, a critic has to watch 700, 800 films a year, and I know through experience, being a juror in prestigious film festivals where supposedly the best films are arriving, from twenty films maybe you see two that are good, one that is so-so, and one that is extraordinary. And the other sixteen are terrible.
countries government relations required return
What is required immediately is the return of the boy. If this does not happen, the U.S. government will be responsible for the way in which relations between the two countries could worsen.
although direction false understand watching
We are watching all of these initiatives. We understand that although they are initiatives aimed in the right direction ... we also must not have false expectations.
america believe colombia latin peace
We believe that peace in Colombia isn't important only for Colombia but all of Latin America.
critics filing leaves time
When you have critics filing on Twitter, it leaves no time for thought and perspective.
die funny people
When you live in a city, as I do, where violence is really in the streets, and people die every day, there's nothing funny about it.
needed vulgarity
'Biutiful' is a tough film. It doesn't make concessions to the vulgarity of light entertainment. It's not the kind of film that you see every day in the Cineplex. But as an artist, it's the thing that I needed to do.
beauty blinded complexity viewers
I do think that the emotional weight of 'Biutiful' has blinded some viewers to the beauty and complexity of the film.
I can be unbearable sometimes asking for so many takes.
