Each Actor Is A Very Different Person,

After The Enormous Success Of All About My Mother, All The Awards And Everything, I Wanted To Start A Movie In Exactly The Same Place That I Used To Be Before. I Wanted To Show That All Of The Success Had Not Changed My Perception.

Cinema Has Become My Life. I Dont Mean A Parallel World, I Mean My Life Itself. I Sometimes Have The Impression That The Daily Reality Is Simply There To Provide Material For My Next Film.

It's A Pity That I Can Never Really Enjoy My Movies Because, After The Mixing, Your Capacity As A Spectator Just Disappears. I Have To Think About What I Felt Just Before The Mixing.

If I Had Not Been Successful As A Director, Then I'm Sure I Would Still Be Telling Stories. I Would Have Continued On 16mm Or Found A Different Medium Through Which To Tell Them. Maybe They Would Have Been Less Glamorous Than Films, But I Would Continue To Tell Stories.

Whenever I Arrive On A Real Location, I Have To Move Around And Work Out What The Best Angles Are Going To Be.
