if i were your father, i’d hold you round the shoulders and say, “it’s not your fault. you did nothing wrong.” but i can’t say that. you killed your mother, and i killed my wife.

“To what extent do you feel like you were playing Pedro Almodóvar himself in Pain and Glory?” “To a big extent. I knew that it was his alter ego. But the situation is this: Maybe everything that you see in the movie, maybe not all of them happened in the way that they are described. But still, I think this movie is more Almodóvar than Almodóvar. Why? Because what are we? Are we the things that we have done, the things that we have said, or are we the things that we wanted to say but we didn’t say? The things that we wanted to do but we never did? Almodóvar, in this movie, comes to terms with himself and his fans, and with the people that probably he left circles open. There is reconciliation with his mother. There is forgiveness. For him, I think this movie became very therapeutic in a way, because I remember that he was getting happier and happier as the movie was advancing” — Antonio Banderas on Pain and Glory
