Coco Chanel really wanted to have freedom of a man, and at first the only way she could find that freedom was through the clothes. They freed her movement; she got rid of the corset. This imposed her not as a decoration but as a real personality. She invented a new way of seductions through these clothes.

I never want to do the same things twice. I like surprises.

What I like about theatre is the responsibility you have with your character.

I would love to occasionally do English-speaking films, but the script is as important for me as the director.

I think that if you do an American movie it's important to earn some money, but in a stupid way, to be respected.

After each experience, you grow up, you get enriched with something, and you don't know how you're going to be in six months, you don't know what you're going to want, what you're going to need.

You have to have the essential pleasure of making a movie. It's such a huge factor and adventure for a director because you really are the leader and the captain.
