Quote

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.

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.

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.

I would have to take some kind of revenge if my girlfriend had been aggressed, my mother had been aggressed, or my kids had been aggressed. I think I would go for personal revenge.

In England they need a king, in Spain they need a king, in France there is no more king. But they consider the president as if he was a king.

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

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

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

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.

I prefer periods of peace and love.

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 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!

Being poor is a normal thing.

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.
