To explore technology for me is something that I have to do. Otherwise, I feel completely left in the back... abandoned.

A name? Oh, Jesus Christ. Ah, God, I've been called by a million names all my life. I don't want a name. I'm better off with a grunt or a groan for a name.

I like that 3D is based on the fact that you look with two eyes, so two cameras imitate that.

What happened in the late Fifties, early Sixties in French cinema was a fantastic revolution. I was in Italy, but completely in love with the nouvelle vague movement, and directors like Godard, Truffaut, Demy. 'The Dreamers' was a total homage to cinema and that love for it.

I'm no longer interested in making political films. There's something old-fashioned about them. Young people now don't care for politics. It isn't present in life as it used to be. And increasingly I like films which reflect present-day reality.

I don't film messages. I let the post office take care of those.

There's no more film; now everything's digital. I welcome this. It's fantastic for me to have a new chance.
