I'm myself - knowing I'm doing a documentary and speaking with the people, telling them I have a bed, that I can eat every day, but I would like to speak to you. And they really gave me wonderful answers. We got along very well without trying to make me look like I'm what I'm not.

People like my films. They understand me through my films; it's like a connection that has been established between all my work and myself and the audience and the viewer.

I cannot say something different to one person and then another.

Sometimes I feel sad, but this is not nostalgia, because I don't want time to come back.

I wanted to catch the problem of consumption, waste, poor people eating what we throw away, which is a big subject. But I didn't want to become a sociologue, an ethnographe, a serious thinker. I thought I should be free, even in a documentary which has a very serious subject.

I've always been like this - trying to find adventure where it's still in its first élan - the first spring.

Hands are the tool of the painter, the artist.
