Quote

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.

In most cases, I don't know how much, I cannot say if it's ninety nine percent or eighty percent, but the problem with incestuous relationships is that they often come from frustration. And from need of power.

I'm very much into vengeance, in the way that if someone attacks you, you have to attack him twice if you want to survive.

You can put whatever you want inside evil and good in morality.

Image
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.

Most people feel aggressed by anything that is different from them.

Make a movie that you can be proud of.

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.

Being poor is a normal thing.

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 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.

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.

I think that wars will never stop, it's just that there are sides. You have to choose your side. And there are more progressive sides.

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 prefer periods of peace and love.

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

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

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

I feel very protected when I see a movie. That's why I like making violent movies or radical movies.

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.
