I have a video store next to my apartment in Paris, and they still have most of their videos on VHS. A lot of people think Be Kind Rewind is set in the past because they just wipe this reality out of their head, but it is true that there are a lot of movies that don't exist on DVD. But I'm not like a big movie buff.

All these gadgets, the phone and the computer, they expose the inside of your brain in a way that's bad.

I like actors who don't have to think too hard about what they have to do to achieve their performance.

I want to explore new ideas and put myself in a place where I can finish a project that is more unusual or that doesn't seem doable.

You can't feel sorry for a scene. If the movie works without the scene, then you don't need the scene.

The MTV Video Awards were never about the video, but about the song. Most of the time it was just to glorify people for the wrong reason.

I read about some movie where they did everything on blue screen, and the actors were not even connecting to each other.
