The challenge to me as a director was for the audience to see the film as going on in a straight line, so that they did not sense all of these break-ups. I did not want a film to be a collage of all these images Picture Quote #1

I’m really a nightmare for the fashion designer because I take away all of his authority, and I become the authority, and I turn him into my assistant.

To Bette Davis, Gena Rowlands, Romy Schneider... To all actresses who have played actresses, to all women who act, to all men who act and become women, to all the people who want to be mothers. To my mother. - Dedication, Todo Sobre Mi Madre Picture Quote #1

For there to be communication within a couple, it is enough for there to be only one person who communicates or who really wants to communicate.

Maybe it’s the culture, maybe it’s the clichÃƒÂ© of Latino machismo, but the Mediterranean male character is more dull than the female character. Women are more surprising and they have fewer prejudices Picture Quote #1

If I’d lived like my characters, I would have been dead before I’d made 16 films Picture Quote #1

Never again work in the same conditions in whichyou made your first film. It’s good to take risks, but not thatmuch risk Picture Quote #1

Hospitals are places that you have to stay in for a long time, even if you are a visitor. Time doesn’t seem to pass in the same way in hospitals as it does in other places. Time seems to almost not exist in the same way as it does in other places Picture Quote #1

Even though I love my mother, I didn’t want to make an idealized portrait of her. I’m fascinated more by her defects - they are funnier than her other qualities Picture Quote #1

Hospitals are places that you have to stay in for a long time, even if you are a visitor. Time doesn’t seem to pass in the same way in hospitals as it does in other places. Time seems to almost not exist in the same way as it does in other places Picture Quote #1
