On an everyday level, I use alcohol and drugs in general mostly to be in a happier mood, with the people around me.

Some girls tell me I'm a sex maniac, or people I don't know think that I'm a fascist, but I don't feel like one. I really think I'm not Communist either, because I don't belong to any political group.

In French you say, "I'm alone against the world" and that means "I hate everybody and everybody's against me."

What I don't like in movies dealing with the illustration of altered states of consciousness is that usually you see the guy from the outside.

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.

In England they need a king, in Spain they need a king, in France there is no more king. But they consider the president as if he was a king.

I think it's more normal to make a movie dealing with love, sexual or not, than to make movies about bank robberies, which very rarely happen in real life. So I would say the problem is not what some people feel is normal, I would say the problem is why this whole industry is far more obsessed with filming scenes of dominance, guns, invasion.
