The perfect crime is when you push someone to suicide. I once read a study that said everyone in the course of their life has thought of killing someone.

I see a film as a puzzle, with a beginning, middle, and end, but I like to start at the end sometimes.

I decided that one day I had to make a film where the viewer couldn't possibly guess the end.

I've seen many films and read lots of thrillers - and I'm always disappointed that I can guess the story before the other viewers.

The last film is always the most important.

Appearance is valued too much in our society.

People are too pretentious in France to like Sarkozy. But he'd be a fabulous president for America.
