I should say nothing! I'm through with it! I hate to repeat myself all the time.

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.

This is all you need in life: a computer, a camera, and a cat.

It's a way of living, cinema. And I see my family, I do this and that, I travel. It's a long process to let it happen.

When I started my first film, there were three women directors in France. Their films were OK, but I was different. It's like when you start to jump and you put the pole very high - you have to jump very high. I thought, I have to use cinema as a language.

When I did the first edit of Les plages, it was very dry and very square in a way. I was just saying the minimum. I said, Well, if this is the minimum, I don't make it. So I tried to make it more refined. I tried to find images, allegorical images, that I could use to express things that I didn't want to say or didn't want to show or I was not able to find how to show.

Sometimes I say, If I had seen some masterpieces, maybe I wouldn't have dared start. I started very - not innocent, but naïve in a way.
