Do you believe the romance between Frida and Diego Rivera was based on obsession or passion?
I think there was always passion. I think there were very profound elements that transformed the passion, not just for sexuality, but they really had passion for each other in many different levels. The passion was not just passion but actually transformed into true love. I think these people learned, through the years, to accept each other exactly as they were and to love each other exactly for what they were. I think that Frida was the only woman that kept challenging Diego for the right reasons – and she always surprised him. I think he truly believed she was a genius and he was the only one who had a vision for it, or the strongest vision for it. When he dies, he leaves a document that says the house that they lived in, the blue house, has to become a museum for Frida Kahlo. Had it not been for his vision, we probably would have never discovered Frida – if she hadn’t had that museum. He knew that at the time she was not appreciated, but he knew there was going to come a generation
