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

falling in love is the most natural thing in the world. Everybody has been through it, everybody has scars, everybody wants to restart falling in love.

France is a very paternalistic society where people have to be introduced.

My father is much more into forgetting and forgiving, but I'm much more into revenge.

The hateful reviews are very funny. And sometimes you can enjoy a hateful review much more than a good review.

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 think British people for example can handle better their own poorness. The image of their poorness. But in France, people don't handle it very well. Either you are normal or ... if you are poor you better not show it.
