I'd skip school regularly to see movies - even in the morning, in the small Parisian theaters that opened early.

Film lovers are sick people.

Everyone who works in the domain of fiction is a bit crazy. The problem is to render this craziness interesting.

Some day I'll make a film that critics will like. When I have money to waste.

At first, I wasn't sure whether I'd be a critic or a filmmaker, but I knew it would be something like that.

Airing one's dirty linen never makes for a masterpiece.
