What I like most about directing is creating a world more so than anything. To me, the music is the wrapping paper on that world.

I'm beyond proud and happy - I never imagined I would have one fan, and there seems to be a few. I just couldn't be happier that people seem to like what I'm doing and seem to respond to it. If they weren't there, I don't know what I'd be doing right now.

France has given us the best filmmakers and food.

My dream is to make the world's scariest PG movie. Because I feel that if you can do that, then you've done something special.

I found out that smoking is the leading cause of statistics.

It'd be cool to chipmunk-ize "The Virgin Suicides" soundtrack. All this ethereal French music, I think that would be unique to listen to.

I'm usually pretty lame when it comes to physical activity, but I'm like a Jedi on the badminton court. It's as if my body was built specifically for it - tall and lanky, with wrists like mousetraps.
