Am I my brother's keeper? Yes. Interestingly, in my case, I share that honor with the Prospect Park Zoo.

The wicked at heart probably know something.

Over the years I've never written or made movies about political themes 'cause while they do have current critical importance, in the large, large scheme of things, only the big questions matter and the answers to those big questions are very, very depressing.

I have an intense desire to return to the womb. Anybody's.

In certain areas I don't function well and in other areas I function very well. I'm very good professionally. I have good discipline, I'm able to write every day and do films and not go six times over the budget. I mean I'm a coherent person, but I also don't like to go through tunnels when I travel. I'm claustrophobic.

I have no idea what I am doing but incompetence has never prevented me from plunging in with enthusiasm.

American films, it's a money-making industry. And in France, you can find great respect for cinema as art.
