I'm not nostalgic. My memories are back here in my mind.

If you know nothing, it could be like an enemy in a way. I think that's the way I felt when I was young.

It's peaceful to think about the family as a group. I totally believe in extended families.

I have respect for literature. If he found the words, if she found the words - this is a book!

The tool of every self-portrait is the mirror. You see yourself in it. Turn it the other way, and you see the world .

There is a song of Gainsbourg that Jane Birkin sang, and the words are beautiful in French. It says, "Le jeu et les moi." It's impossible to translate, because it has a very nice sound. It sounds so lovely in French. So I took that because it was the subject: I and myself and myself and I. Which is, in a way, boring, because it is a contradiction.

I try to do nothing. I drink rosemary when I have a lot of work to do. People take coffee, they take speed, whatever. I take rosemary.
