All day my mind drifts off into fantasies and little stupid jokes.

I write scripts by myself. It's not for everybody. It's someone's personal work. I need to be in love with the subject.

I've never made any concessions, so I am 100% responsible for my films. This makes me feel very proud.

When you speak about generosity, about something good we have inside ourselves, you're speaking to the majority.

In general, I have some precise ideas about everything, because the film is completed in my head before we ever start shooting. With casting, I am always present, even for the smallest character.

In Hollywood everything is formatted, everything is compulsory, so therefore we have to follow the law of benefits and profit and money, let us say the law of Hollywood.

I like looking back at people's faces in the dark. I like noticing details that no one else sees. But I hate it in the old American movies when drivers don't watch the road.
