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.

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.

And at the end you have been totally censored on the synopsis, and then on the script.
