I Won't Make Shorthand Films, Because I

I’m Very Worried About The Depiction Of Women On The Screen. It’s Gotten Worse Than Ever And It’s Related To Their Being Either High- Or Low-class Concubines, And The Only Question Is When Or Where They Will Go To Bed, With Whom, And How Many. There’s Nothing To Do With The Dreams Of Women, Or Of Woman As The Dream, Nothing To Do With The Quirky Part Of Her, The Wonder Of Her.

Most People Don't Know What They Want Or Feel. And For Everyone, Myself Included, It's Very Difficult To Say What You Mean When What You Mean Is Painful. The Most Difficult Thing In The World Is To Reveal Yourself, To Express What You Have To... As An Artist, I Feel That We Must Try Many Things - But Above All, We Must Dare To Fail. You Must Have The Courage To Be Bad - To Be Willing To Risk Everything To Really Express It All.

As An Artist, I Feel That We Must Try Many Things - But Above All We Must Dare To Fail.

To Me There Is A Name For Each Person. I Think It’s Marvelous To Have A Name. A Woman Is Not A Woman. It’s Either Gena Or My Mother Or Some Other Person.

You Can Fail In Films Because You Don't Have The Talent, Or You Have Too Much Humility, Or You Lack Ferociousness. I'm A Gangster. If I Want Something, I'll Grab It.
