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

I'm sure you can even find ménage à trois in medieval tales.

Sometimes living is not so light and easy and you need a representation of life in front of you. It's a fake reorganization of reality. You start to feel, "I'm not so alone in the world because I can recognize exactly the same feelings."

I think that what people abroad want from French film, inside French film becomes our worst fear, "Oh, another film about love!"

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.

Because I'm Parisian, I wanted to show a Paris that I don't see at the movies, so I spent a lot of time looking for places that have never been filmed, for streets that have never been filmed because there's a thing about Paris, where it's kind of like a charming music box, this luminous cocoon, like those things that have fake snow in them that you turn upside down.

Paris, though it's a very famous city, it's very small, so people always tell themselves, "We're gonna love each other in Paris."
