People in France are very intrusive when they recognize you. In New York, they are very polite, with quick words, so it's great.

I'm very interested in people, in general.

I like the light that comes off metal shutters at siesta time in the summer, having a break from driving in the shops at motorway services, the odour of petrol at petrol stations, rolling down little slopes. I hate it when you tread in a puddle and the water soaks your socks.

I've never sent a Tweet. I think I have an account but I don't know who runs it. I've never done one in my life.

In France we have a law which doesn't allow the press to publish a photo that you didn't approve. It lets the paparazzi take the picture, but if they publish this picture, you have the choice to sue the newspaper. So me, I always sued them.

It might seem paradoxical given my profession, but I'm not someone who likes to be in the limelight.

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