I don't really shop any more. I only do it when I have to. I think it is very overrated.

I used to be more self-conscious about style because when you're younger, you want to exist, you want to show everything you do.

I think American audiences like gangster movies. It's part of the culture.

Coming from Paris, I'd really like to live in Rio. I think it's gotten better. It's not as violent. The economy is better. The middle class is rising.

You usually never know what you're going to do when you're making a movie.

Steven Soderbergh really likes Irréversible, that's about all I can tell you. About the making, well, it was a very particular situation, because those people all know each other, and they're all big stars. I felt like the little French guy, really. And I was very flattered to be called on that, of course, but I felt like if I didn't find something to be a little original, different, particular in the movie, I would just disappear.

The only person standing in your way is you.
