I think I am pretty much melancholic.

I've been changed watching films or reading books or hearing music, and that helps you to live your life.

Sometimes I call directors. Sometimes I just meet with them. It just happens. It's not that I'm pushy. It comes naturally. But I go ahead. I don't stay in my armchair, waiting for the phone to ring.

I'm very down-to-earth and accessible, I think.

Changing someone's life is not the best, is not wanting to change the other life. It is being who you are that changes another's life. Do you understand?

I want to make films that are political and social. Films with a message or an idea. Films that dare to ask.

I am not a great French woman. George Sand, Marguerite Duras and Simone de Beauvoir are great French women.
