I used this line to demonstrate how important colors are in movies: It's not a caprice.

Whenever I arrive on a real location, I have to move around and work out what the best angles are going to be.

Both sex and death are eternal themes. You could make thousands of movies on this theme, and whether you have a human being who is painting, singing, making a film, writing, these are the themes that you will come back to and return to. If you don't have any of these artistic expressions, sex is one of the only gifts that nature gave you for free, so it is very important to celebrate it. And then, with death, we are condemned to that. This is absolutely present in our lives.

All my movies are difficult to classify because they are very eclectic in mixing genres.

I'm more interested to show the darkest places of myself, and I don't joke about it.

Even though I love my mother, I didn't want to make an idealized portrait of her. I'm fascinated more by her defects - they are funnier than her other qualities.

I think décor says a lot about someone's social position, their taste, their sensibility, their work - and also about the aesthetic way I have chosen to tell their story.
