I wanted to do comic books... as a comic book artist, as an illustrator. But I'm not very good so I thought I should do something else! So I went to a film school when I was seventeen and came out when I was nineteen.

I think that in the American film industry - or even in the European cinema - movies are made not to disturb any kind of class or any kind of minority.

I feel very protected when I see a movie. That's why I like making violent movies or radical movies.

You can put whatever you want inside evil and good in morality.

Movies dealing with social subjects in France become very paternalist. They want to teach lessons. They don't show poorness like a normal situation.

Survival is a genetic law.

Sometimes when I make a movie, my main goal is to show the movie to one particular director.It's not about competing. It's mostly about someone who did something that blew your mind and you want to see if you can render the joy.
