Maybe our Earth is totally alone in the universe.

I had good parents. Nothing terrible happened. But I had the feeling that they kind of protected me from reality somehow.

With digital, you can shoot longer, take more risks.

What is very exciting with children is they like to play, and they don't care so much about the meanings [of things], and they are just excited to have weird scenes to do or weird things to do, like playing deaf, or playing sick, or swimming in the water.

The film from the beginning is not the real world; it's an imaginary world. And this imaginary world is both inside and outside the normal world.

I used to live in a little city by the sea, and the feeling of isolation - it was not like living in Paris or London. It was a bit apart from the main city, and [it gave me] this feeling of isolation and also being close to nature, with nature as a surrounding and also a frontier, from the society of the world.

Maybe our Earth is totally alone in the universe.
