People sometimes, they just stop because they see this scope movie. They say "oh, this is a real movie, this is not a TV movie."

You wake up because you killed someone and you're afraid of going to jail. And the moment you wake up you feel safe and it's over and you can meet that person in the street and you're not going to jail. The good thing about dreams is that they erase some kind of desire, because after your dreams you feel you've done it, and you're relieved.

Everybody wants to lie to himself, pretending that there's something else besides only the normal life you're living in.

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.

I'm not sure that people want to go back to the womb. People want to go back to the teats of your mother and hear your mother's heartbeat.

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

If I had to go through a tunnel ten years without making any movies like Bunuel, I don't mind, as long as I did one good movie.
