People always go to Paris for their honeymoon. It's like they think because the distances are closer, it's much warmer.

You can do a good movie, or you can do a good movie that can help people to feel the idea of what it is like to live. It can be good in an artificial way; it can be also a good movie for your own existence. You don't know that when you do a movie. You don't know if you succeeded, which is the most difficult thing.

There's something about Paris, people just don't have anything else do there but love each other.

At the end of the day you do have to write a short novel beforehand, called a script, before you can make a movie.

As an actor I've played a lot of gloomy, romantic leads and even though I might not want to recognize it, I actually really have a sense of humor.

Since I knew I was going to make a film that was purely about emotions, and I knew that I ran the risk of being accused of amnesia relating to the social film, to prevent this I decided it would be good to have characters who were on the margins of society. These are characters for whom love is really the only way to know that they're alive.

I knew that the principle objective of my film was to be a sentimental or an emotional study. What I did was kind of like subterfuge.
