I've had gay friends who grew up in small towns in France who had to lie for most of their lives, even to themselves. But eventually such lies become stronger than the people, and they have to face them.

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.

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

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

I spent all my youth with horses.
