two people black
To change history is very slow. The first two times I came to the States - black people didn't have the right to vote.
fashion cutting nineteen
I was nineteen and I put a bowl on and I said, Cut around! Because it was not the fashion at the time when I did that hairdo - and I kept it all my life!
jobs yesterday cinema
Good cinema is good cinema. It makes you feel like you need to work. Just yesterday I saw a good film, but even if I'd seen a bad one, I'd feel, "Oh my god, what a bad job, I can do better."
beautiful film should
When I started I did not know I wanted to be a filmmaker. I started - I made a film. Then when I finished I said, Oh my god it's so beautiful - I should be a filmmaker!
people landscape ifs
If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes.
strong humor weapons
Humor is such a strong weapon, such a strong answer.
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 needs nests
I think we need to have a nest of something which is family.
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.
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.
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.
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.
