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

My goal was to show that even if people work in a garage or a supermarket, they have very funny things to say. We never hear their voices.

I don't mock things, which makes me more vulnerable to mockery myself. If you're cynical, you're protected from mockery. But I have to be nice. I don't think I have irony. A sense of humour, yes, but not irony.

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 think always my interest in making movies is to have something really technical mixed with something that was not so formal...something free.

I think the tools were always available, for decades and decades, to make your own film and be creative. I don't think people had to wait for YouTube to do this type of small project. YouTube, I think it's great. I have this idiotic satisfaction. And I think there's a bit of that in YouTube. You share, true, but it's centralized, and it's already sort of controlled. I'm more for something that's not a centralized medium. Like doing your own film and screening it yourself. You cannot control people doing that.

The problem is, with a lot of children's films, they are very commercial.
