"Despite not containing any nakedness or explicitly erotic scenes, it’s only rarely that sexual desire has been as vividly present in Spanish cinema as it is in Aunt Tula. For someone like me, 'Aunt Tula' (1964) by Miguel Picazo is still a role model."
--- Pedro Almodóvar
"Sería mejor vivir en una sociedad donde no hubiera filántropos porque no son necesarios. Que paguen sus impuestos. Eso es lo ideal."

Michelangelo Buonarroti solo tenía 23 años cuando creó la famosa Piedad. Un cardenal francés encargó el trabajo y le llevó a Miguel Ángel sólo menos de dos años completarlo (1498-1499).
Fue hecha de un solo bloque de mármol de Carrara y es la única escultura que el artista ha firmado.
David Fincher on John Carpenter's "Halloween" (1978):
"'Halloween' (1978)- STILL THE BEST. John Carpenter, Debra Hill and Jamie Lee Curtis' teens were the first real ones I think that I had seen. A murky sense of culpability imbues every thrilling steadicam P.O.V. with heretofore unknown DREAD — whilst its "RELENTLESSNESS of EVIL" metaphor in Michael Myers was pure and twisted GLEE."

Touch of Evil (1958, Welles)
"My name is Orson Welles. I am an actor. I am a writer. I am a producer. I am a director. I am a magician. I appear onstage & on the radio. Why are there so many of me and so few of you?"
