PS: It's all gossip about the prince. I'm not in the habit of taking my girlfriends' beaux.
I hate this place. I shall hate it to my grave.
Another real problem was over putting our helmets on for re-entry, because we all had severe head colds. They couldn't come up there and make us. Houston, you have a problem!
I played English football - soccer - instead of American football, because we couldn't afford the equipment.
When a man looks across a street, sees a pretty girl, and waves at her, that's not a rendezvous, that's a passing acquaintance. When he walks across the street and nibbles on her ear, that's a rendezvous!
Also, there are now new laws in Brazil which create incentives for Argentine and Latin American films to be premiered and distributed in Brazil and vice versa.

But I also think that the more you reason collectively about what the project should be at the beginning of the process, the more you can improvise later.

I'm much more interested in living specific experiences in films.
It was a complex endeavor so without Robert Redford's constant support we wouldn't have gotten to the end.
No, I worked a lot for European television, doing documentaries in Brazil.
So I feel a responsibility to help first-time film-makers in Brazil, but also to increase the dialogue between film cultures which are really wonderful and so much closer to us than what we do see on our screens.
So the search for a father in Central Station is also a search for a country.
That's why I have always admired documentaries, because they open windows that can make you understand much better where you come from, much better than fiction, I think.
We all knew the book well because it's the cult book in Latin America. For me, this was a sacred territory. I would not have ventured into it by myself.
What I have to say is far more important than how long my eyelashes are.
Faces that have charmed us the most escape us the soonest.
We build statues out of snow, and weep to see them melt.
I started out in Scotland, not as a footballer of any note, and I didn't play to draw the attention of people abroad.
