I wanted to be a lawyer. I love that job; I dont know why.

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.

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.

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."

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

Because if I were gay, [and] I'm not gay yet — maybe one day — but if I were gay, I'd like to see movies where homosexuality isn't always a problem.
