I'm a big Star Wars fan.

I never think about franchises, to be honest. I always just do the film.

Be humble and say okay, all right, I have to prep myself. So everybody prepped, and we finished the film [Valerian ] four days before the end.

I'm always attracted by people who are lost in their time. I think it helps us.

We were so ready [with Valerian] that we were early, which is unheard of in the history of the sci-fi film.

I said if I made 10 films in my life, I would be very lucky. That's how I meant it. My fear after my first one was whether they would let me make another one, so I had this goal in my head.

Cinema never saved anyone's life, it is not a medicine that will save anyone's life. It is only an aspirin.
