I'm not from a lower social level, but I think I relate more to lower levels then to people who've got money.

Sometimes when I make a movie, my main goal is to show the movie to one particular director.

I'm very much into vengeance, in the way that if someone attacks you, you have to attack him twice if you want to survive.

Maybe the dreams make the people stronger, whatever.

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.

In life, some people just know that they have the power of their money. They can sign checks, contracts, and things like that. And they think they are bright just because they can sign these things because someone gave them the possibility to have this economic power over you. And they behave as censors.

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.
