It's the golden age of French cinema again but it's because Sarkozy had the guts to push through copyright law.

I'm probably the only person who goes to work and says 'Wow, it's really nice here and sweet,' even in the competitive movie business.

I learned what I really love is making films, not the film business. I want to be on the set, meeting with writers, I want that freedom. I love it now.

When we talk about Oscars, it's almost as a symbol of excellence, and the American public and the worldwide public accept that symbol.

All my movies got screwed up because of my personality.

I saw 'Tintin' in Europe - it is 'Indiana Jones' on steroids. Unbelievable. What a fantastic movie. Steven Spielberg, you rock the house. And working with those young English guys like Edgar Wright, and also Peter Jackson; what a great combination.
