I Also Wanted To Express The Strength

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.

I Also Wanted To Express The Strength Of Cinema To Hide Reality, While Being Entertaining. Cinema Can Fill In The Empty Spaces Of Your Life And Your Loneliness.

I Was Born At A Bad Time For Spain, But A Really Good One For Cinema.

I Used This Line To Demonstrate How Important Colors Are In Movies: It's Not A Caprice.

All My Movies Have An Autobiographical Dimension, But That Is Indirectly, Through The Characters. In Fact I Am Behind Everything That Happens And That Is Said, But I Am Never Talking About Myself In First Person. Something In Me - Probably A Dislike Of Cheap Exhibitionism- Stops Me From Approaching A Project Too Autobiographically.
