It's funny how people want to sometimes think that Young and Beautiful film is about all adolescents, but it's just the case of one girl. It doesn't mean all the adolescents are like that, of course.

There is a kind of syndrome of girls who want to dirty themselves. They have the power. They control everything.

I didn't want to make Young and Beautiful as very dramatic movie . In a certain way, I wanted to do a girly film. I wanted to make something sweet, pink. With a boy it was too dramatic and too heavy. I had a lot of pleasure with the boys in In the House, I said, This time I will do a film with girls.

I think, when you are the prostitute... you don't want to be coming.

I think young people are aware, more than when I was young. There is such an obsession in the media of young people, about their beauty. The magazines and the fashion, all these kinds of things. They know that, and they use this power.

Awards are like hemorrhoids. Sooner or later every asshole gets one.
