Cinema for me only has meaning when it has a relationship with what I see outside on the street.

The most heroic thing you can do is tell someone that you love them.

Used properly, cinema is the coolest thing in the world.

What interests me about genre is that the public connects immediately with it, it has certain rules, certain codes the audience recognizes. I can use that to create something very big.

When someone is punched in the face, you find out what they are made of.

Cool? Am I cool? I don't know, but I hope my characters are cool, in the sense of iconic. That's my job, at its very essence.

I really believe the form of the film must be in the scenario; cinema is not just added value to the scripting. I believe in it as a totality.

Something that I tell myself every morning when I wake up is like: "Think it over, take the time to think it over." I don't like spontaneity, there you go. I'm wary of it.

Beauty is subjective: Bette Davis wasn't beautiful, but she was more than beautiful.

Film is abstract, not definite. It is a dream.

I think that cinema has always progressed through exchanges.

In their minds, it seems as though people don't often have the same answers, but in their hearts, they do very frequently have the same questions.

You can't make a souffle rise twice.

There's nothing greater than a girl.... Well a kid, your daughter, but that's a girl too.

The fact that someone says something doesn't mean it's true. Doesn't mean they're lying, but it doesn't mean it's true.

Women vibrate at a slightly different rate that passes kundalini very easily. It is problematic though, because a woman also picks up negative energy, it affects her more.

To keep the faith, run with the right crowd.

The feminine values are the fountain of bliss. Know the masculine, Keep to the feminine.

Retiring today allows me to walk away from the game with pride, rather than have the game walk away from me.

I am not guilty, I am innocent.

The whole exploitation thing is funny, too. Exploitation is the nature of the world, isn't it?
