Even though I love my mother, I didn't want to make an idealized portrait of her. I'm fascinated more by her defects - they are funnier than her other qualities.
Pedro Almodovar

Charles Bronson

Victoria Secunda
Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness.
