I came to understand that people come and see you because they like you. They don't come to throw things at you.

I love being a beginner. It can be a terrible feeling because you're ashamed of everything you do, but it's so exciting at the same time.

When you love someone, you don't want them to suffer at all.

I have ideas of subjects and atmospheres that I love. I either want to go in a tougher, stronger direction or do the opposite: simple ballads.

I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.

It's difficult for me to write in English as it's not my first language, but French is even worse because of my father's influence and because the comparisons that I - not even other people - would make.
