The problem of working in a mine, you are inside the belly of the monster, and it controls you. The air you breathe, the stones that fall on your head, we had to be on guard.

You have the sun, you have the moon, you have the air that you breathe - and you have the Rolling Stones!

I am grateful that I'm working, but I also have to say I've worked really, really hard and had to fight a lot.

It never crossed my mind to be a director, and I'll tell you why: because I'm a woman. It just didn't occur to me, but I knew I had to be in film.

I finally, you know, moved to Mexico City, where the film industry is. I started working there as a producer, which is a very, very valid thing for women to do, because we always produce for men, right?

The only thing I have is instinct and intuition and just staying very, very connected to the moments and try to bring in what your gut is telling you.
