I come from a very militant family, a militancy that my father paid for with torture and imprisonment. My parents have made their moral and ethical preferences for the left very clear to me, and I'm still there.

I've always been a little intense, really. As a child, my mother called me Radio Pirenaica Independiente, which was the clandestine radio station during the Franco regime. I wanted to be a film director not because I was especially a cinephile, but to tell things.
