You cannot watch yourself dispassionately.

Doing cinema is not about watching yourself.

Go out there and try on everything - short skirts, long skirts, mid length, little jackets, men's clothing - and really look at yourself; really walk around in the clothes. Don't just take someone else's advice. You must feel you in these clothes and feel what it's like to live in them.

You can never really judge your work because once it's done, it's done.

To grieve is something extremely difficult, we don't even know how to begin to grieve, and I don't know how you can be taught to grieve.

If you want to paint the inner life, you paint it from the exterior. From the exterior, you breathe the inner life into your painting.
