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

In my films I always wanted to make people see deeply. I don't want to show things, but to give people the desire to see.

With Jane Birkin, we had a scene from a film called Jane B. by Agnès V. - a portrait I made in '87. We had a casino scene, surrealistic, in which we had some naked people gambling. Jane Birkin was the card dealer and I was the player. I had beautiful jewelery around me, and when I lost I would take the jewelery and say, Service - being very generous, because it was very expensive jewelery. I would say, Tip.

Society is so slow. A feminist is a bore.

Good cinema is good cinema. It makes you feel like you need to work. Just yesterday I saw a good film, but even if I'd seen a bad one, I'd feel, "Oh my god, what a bad job, I can do better."

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

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