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.

I felt attacked because people rejected me. They didn't say "we can give you money to do something else if you want," they just said "no, this movie cannot be done" and I said "okay, so I'll do it!"

I am not a police fan at all.

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.

The negative has to be done on an A and B [roll] so you don't see the cuts, the splices on the frameline.

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

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