You can feel that something terrible is going on in another place in the world, and it's the other, it's not you. It's always there, it's them. But this them is also you.

You look at them, the animals in the wild, and they stay the same. They have their rules which I cannot decipher, and there's something very strong about that, it's also unknown and for me unpredictable.

Animals are also the ones that are guarding the graves, and they are the ones who communicate between the dead and the alive.

I go back to [the idea] that we are avoiding all of these unknowns, we're avoiding the night - most of us - we're avoiding the encounters, but we're also afraid to deal with something unknown, unseen.

I go and film 50 people in Israel, 50 people in Russia, and 50 people in Romania, in Paris, because I really like to get some particles of something real.

Animals are always goddesses and gods, like the god Anubis. He's the one who's accompanying the souls to the next life, and he's the one who decides if they will be able to cross or not.

We see everything, we see what's going on in Syria, we see what's going on with the refugees. What can you do about it? And we have to do something.
