Movies dealing with social subjects in France become very paternalist. They want to teach lessons. They don't show poorness like a normal situation.

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

If you sue somebody it takes two years, three years, and your anger just gets lost in between. And even if you win or lose the trial, it takes such a long time. If you want to really take a personal revenge, you'd better do it by yourself and at the right time.

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

I think that it's much brighter just to assume that you're an animal in the jungle and you have to survive.

I think that wars will never stop, it's just that there are sides. You have to choose your side. And there are more progressive sides.

If someone disturbs you... they didn't kill you, but you really feel like "I wish this guy was dead"... you know that you will not kill him yourself, but if he gets struck by a truck or by a train, you would really be happy.
