I grew up in a very open-minded family. My father died when I was very little, so my mother was really, really incredibly busy trying to provide for us.

When was it that people decided as a society that your body is in one place and your sexuality in another place, something like a hat, or a coat, that when you leave home you hang it and when you come back home you say, Ah! Let's wear my sexuality! I might wear it tonight? It is something that belongs to your body.

You see all these old buildings [in Rio] going down or catching fire overnight, and it is so sad. I am very connected with these buildings because they are our history. It is the only one that we have.

I didn't like the script [of Aquarius], I loved it.

To be naked or even making love in a scene to me is very important if this is a movie about a couple or sensuality. It's a sort of moralism to think that this shouldn't be seen in the film.

The way I see it, I belong to the film as any other department.

We can bring to characters dark and bright sides that nobody even dreams about.

It makes sense that somebody told you that you made the film from your perspective as a father.

When Sônia [Braga] talked about the script in detail, it was as if she had seen the film [Aquarius] last night, even though it hadn't existed yet. It was a completely bulls - t-less reaction, so I knew it had to be her, and she has been great ever since.

The reaction I got from Sônia [Braga] in less than 48 hours after I sent her the script [Aquarius] was so genuine that it left me stunned. Often when you show people scripts, you get polite, absent-minded reactions, as well as exclamations of What the f - k is this?.

Ultimately, you just have to do what feels right for the film. It really helps when you have great collaborators like my editor, Eduardo Serrano, who kept telling me various scenes should be longer.

The only thing I know is that we came from the stars, and that we have the same material as the stars. That's all that I know. Everything else I don't know.

I keep boxes filled with recuerdos - little memories that are in the form of pictures and events that I've written down. It's funny that I chose to write them in Spanish rather than English or Portuguese.

And getting older, what's happening is, I play only mothers.

We did receive some questions about the film's [Aquarius] sexuality in Cannes, but they came from the press rather than audiences.

The ruins of classic movie theaters are a personal obsession of mine, and I've made a couple of documentaries about it.

I'm not saying that we need more stories about people of a certain age, we just need more great stories about people.

I have two kids now and through watching them, I keep having flashbacks to my own childhood.

Sônia Braga reacted in a beautiful way to the draft I sent her, so we just made the film [Aquarius] as I had written it. Emilie [Lesclaux], my wife and producer, told me, This is not a two-hour film. This is going to be longer. And I said, Well, let's try and make it work, whatever length it is.
