[on the Anna Bronsky character in
A Professora de Violino (2019)] You see that she is someone who looks for a special tone and not the technique. She says I hear something in a man. There is something special that is so beautiful, it opens the room up to something. You say, oh that's a great teacher. That's what you look for. Then, when she doesn't succeed herself as a musician, she falls back on the old world like all the others and goes work, work, work. It's what you know. Always in moments of insecurity, you fall back into the old patterns; where at least you kind of know what is going to happen. So, you go back to this room and are stuck with this opinion that you just have to work hard. It's not about feeling "forget it", because she punishes herself. It's all against herself.
