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.

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.

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.
