I'm producing more, but I think to direct, one has to have a burning desire, and that's not me. I'd rather do something else.

It's always interesting to see a director trying different things, and on top of it, doing it right each and almost every time.

If kids really made all the parents better, there wouldn't be crazy kids in the world.

It was like a dream to me to suddenly get into the market with that kind of movie, like La Haine. It actually created my identity as an actor, that thing.

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

I always compare human beings to animals. It's a nice way to figure out who they are.

I did direct two short movies. I learned many things, and one of the things I learned was that I am not a director. It has to be visceral, and it's not for me. I feel much more comfortable acting.
