I like skiing, among other things, because I have moments when I am alone in the mountains. That's fantastic, when there's nobody around you. You see miles around you, and the sun is almost down .

Normal love isn't interesting. I assure you that it's incredibly boring.

When I really love a movie, I don't want to spoil it by too frequent visits. But I like to come back to certain films, which I admire.

I know that atmosphere of the Parisian apartment building, with the twin menaces of the concierge on the ground floor and the landlord upstairs.

The whole showmanship is NOT to answer every question.

I simply think there's life after movies. I have to adhere to this philosophy, and therefore I like other things, and I have other passions. None are as big as movie-making, but they exist.

If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.
