It's so French to be a cat person.

I think I was, like, maybe frustrated for many years because I didn't try to direct. And since I made my movie I'm just like, 'It's great.

I didn't really want to act. Gerard Depardieu discovered me when I was 14 and asked if I wanted to make movies and I said, 'Why not?

A good director has to be a captain - he has to work with a lot of people every day.

I'm in love with love, so I'm always taking risks! I think it's part of love, taking risks.

It seems like the more you grow up the more you fear things.

For me, it was a lot of pressure to make another movie after 'Inglourious Basterds' because I didn't want to do something wrong. I wanted to have a beautiful project for another American movie.
