In any group there is more or less tension between people, and there are complicities and affinities.

I think it's very boring for a director to always do the same kind of movies.

It was really hard to find another project after my first film.

I'm an absolute fan of 1970s New York in films like 'Mean Streets' and 'Dog Day Afternoon.

You need to feed yourself with emotions and life or youll become empty.

Directing remains very psychological, and it takes a lot of time and reflection. When you're an actor, it takes less time, and you can express yourself physically.

I would rather do really good French films than 'American Pie.'
