America in some ways is much more of a democracy then France. It is and it's not.

Societies have progressed much more during times of peace than during wars.

In North America someone who doesn't know anybody, he can go... you can be respected for your own identity. It pushes your personality to become stronger.

I think you direct a movie just to express your own self.

Horsemeat is the most male meat you can think of.

In France now, there's no problem with official censorship. Once your movie is finished, you always are R-rated. My movie is just R-rated in France. But when you meet French producers with a script like mine, they behave like the most fragile chickens in the world. They just tell you "Oh, no. You should cut this. You should cut that." And at the end you have been totally censored on the synopsis, and then on the script.

In England they need a king, in Spain they need a king, in France there is no more king. But they consider the president as if he was a king.
