He is a very courageous, brave man. He doesn't have any kind of fear when he is behind the camera. Almodovar has always been afraid of Hollywood's control. . . . I don't see Pedro Almodovar directing somebody else's scripts or somebody else's ideas. It must be something that comes from his heart.
American cinema seems less like real life.
Sensuality is one of the few presents nature has given us. It's a present we must celebrate. But here, when a film explores that, it makes people nervous. But when Almodovar writes a script, he said, he does it unhindered, without worrying about an American, Spanish or any particular audience. Sometimes I like to not understand what I am doing, and just let the irrational things happen.
