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

I know that sometimes in my own life I really felt like killing people.

I would have to take some kind of revenge if my girlfriend had been aggressed, my mother had been aggressed, or my kids had been aggressed. I think I would go for personal revenge.

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

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.

I prefer periods of peace and love.

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