I don't like being completely isolated. I need the energy from other people.

I didn't want to make teenage comedies, and I didn't want to make really trashy films. I wanted to make films that were a bit challenging.

Polarization affects families and groups of friends. Its a paralyzing situation. A civil war of opinion.

Patriotism is an instant reaction that fades away when the war starts.

They're so boring. They're so pathetic, all those journalists. Most of them are. Most of those kind that write gossip stuff, and most of it's gossip. Things are just invented about your personal life and you just have to take that. It's bullshit. People believe it, though. They just believe everything they read.

Movies in this country, its very complicated, and we could bang on about it forever, but the French movie industry is very different because its very obviously French.

I, personally, have a lot of energy, so I don't see it as an immediate problem.
