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.

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.

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

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

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

It's physically and psychologically exhausting to make a film.

I spent all my youth with horses.
