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.

If you're a Bosnian and suddenly you get attacked by the Serbs, there's just one way of getting rid of your opponents. It's taking revenge and trying to fight as hard as you can.

I'm not from a lower social level, but I think I relate more to lower levels then to people who've got money.

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.

Some people take drugs in a quest for spirituality.

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.

I felt attacked because people rejected me. They didn't say we can give you money to do something else if you want, they just said no, this movie cannot be done and I said okay, so I'll do it!

If I had to go through a tunnel ten years without making any movies like Bunuel, I don't mind, as long as I did one good movie.

I think British people for example can handle better their own poorness. The image of their poorness. But in France, people don't handle it very well. Either you are normal or ... if you are poor you better not show it.

From a simple, mammal perspective, you think you're going to make friends through the movie. You think, Oh, this kind of humor that I play with will bring people that have a similar kind of humor. I'll make new friends, or something. You don't even think in terms of audience or of money.

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.

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

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.

Some girls tell me I'm a sex maniac, or people I don't know think that I'm a fascist, but I don't feel like one. I really think I'm not Communist either, because I don't belong to any political group.

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

I think it's more normal to make a movie dealing with love, sexual or not, than to make movies about bank robberies, which very rarely happen in real life. So I would say the problem is not what some people feel is normal, I would say the problem is why this whole industry is far more obsessed with filming scenes of dominance, guns, invasion.

France is a very paternalistic society where people have to be introduced.
