My characters are never heroic. They are mostly lost and trying to find the right door to open and they end up opening the wrong doors.

I think that in the American film industry - or even in the European cinema - movies are made not to disturb any kind of class or any kind of minority.

The good thing about forbidding the death penalty is that society won't be able to kill people who are not guilty, but at the same time there are some people that are just such a mental mess that, you know, they will never get out of their obsessions and they can keep them forever.

Sometimes you have the chance to do one movie, make it the best you can, put everything in it.

Erotic movies - they don't even make it anymore. Even the erotic magazines don't really look like the ones you could find in the '70s. You have much more extreme iconography of what is sexy. It's very cold. There's nothing that links to real life.

You wake up because you killed someone and you're afraid of going to jail. And the moment you wake up you feel safe and it's over and you can meet that person in the street and you're not going to jail. The good thing about dreams is that they erase some kind of desire, because after your dreams you feel you've done it, and you're relieved.

You feel touched by a movie in a good or bad way or you have a strong reaction to something that's totally artificial, to an imitation of life. But that imitation of life that you see on the screen can affect you almost as if it was real.

The power that a president has in France is like the power of a king. In America, you know that his power is limited. Maybe because there used to be a king for centuries and now they're still behaving like they need a king.

Sometimes people who feel powerless, they come to bother their own kids, or they come to bother children.

People who are poor, they suffer a lot. And people drink a lot and people take a lot of downers and there's a lot of unemployment.

Make a movie that you can be proud of.

If I had a kid, and someone had touched my kid, I am sure that if I had a gun or a knife, I would go and stab the person who I supposed touched my kid.

It's not that I dislike the police, but I would never go to the police for anything. It's just that I prefer not..., not calling them.

On an everyday level, I use alcohol and drugs in general mostly to be in a happier mood, with the people around me.
