I prefer periods of peace and love.

In French you say, "I'm alone against the world" and that means "I hate everybody and everybody's against me."

I notice that I feel safer among women when I do drugs. I would never do drugs with male friends.

Being poor is a normal thing.

From a simple, mammal perspective, you think you're going to make friends through the movie. You think, "Oh, this kind of humor that I play with will bring people that have a similar kind of humor. I'll make new friends," or something. You don't even think in terms of audience or of money.

Sometimes you have the chance to do one movie, make it the best you can, put everything in it.

The French movies that are promoted abroad are the ones that give a trendy, cultural, petit bourgeois, upper class image of France, but it's true that people who are poor in France are the same in New York or in India.
