My company is called Ciné-Tamaris, which is rosemary. That's my speed. Hot water and herb.

I've changed my approach to people and to filming because of the new equipment, which is important.

I made a braid because Chinese old people, they say that the God will take you by the hair to join you with - but God didn't take me, so I cut the braid.

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.

To change history is very slow. The first two times I came to the States - black people didn't have the right to vote.

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.

I see all these students, and I admire them - they're trying to learn something, they go to school, they do film school, they go on shoots, they help. I'm sure they learn a lot, and some of them, it makes them aware of what they wish to do. I was - that's the way I was - autodidact.
