My characters are never heroic. They are mostly lost and trying to find the right door to open and they end up opening the wrong doors.

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

In France, it's just.., if you're the son of someone, you can be sure that you will have a good life. Because you're the son of this guy or the daughter of that guy you will be introduced to this person who will give you a job even if you're totally incompetent.

I always think of moments of love with someone I love.

People who are poor, they suffer a lot. And people drink a lot and people take a lot of downers and there's a lot of unemployment.

You can put whatever you want inside evil and good in morality.
