It's very difficult to live with religious ideas. I can't compare religion to the movies. I can fuse them.

I write books, I write for comic books, I give lectures... I live. And when the opportunity comes to do a picture, I do a picture.

I don't see myself as a movie maker only. When I can do a picture, I do. But I don't work like a business, in pictures. I am not obliged to make one picture after the other in order to live. I write books, I write for comic books, I give lectures... I live. And when the opportunity comes to do a picture, I do a picture.

I don't live in France; I live in myself.

I am an artist, you understand? For me, a picture is like poetry. When you make art, this is not coming from an intellectual place. It's coming from the deep side of your unconscious, your soul.

I am like the rain, I go where I'm needed.

I wanted to make a film that gave the people who took LSD at that time the hallucinations that you get with that drug, but without hallucinating.
