Yes, Women Are Stronger Than Us. They Face More Directly The Problems That Confront Them, And For That Reason They Are Much More Spectacular To Talk About. I Don't Know Why I Am More Interested In Women, Because I Don't Go To Any Psychiatrists, And I Don't Want To Know Why.

All My Movies Have An Autobiographical Dimension, But That Is Indirectly, Through The Characters.

And Then, With Death, We Are Condemned To That. This Is Absolutely Present In Our Lives.
