I have a hard enough time speaking for myself - I don't pretend I can be a spokesman for anybody. I have no interest in playing that role.

People think of Paris as the city of love or the city of light, but where you got love you got hate, where you got light you got darkness.

I'm not a politician; I'm lucky to be a filmmaker and to be able to express myself through the films I make.

I hope you never think about anything as much as I think about you.

I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now - unless I am letting my consciousness be dominated by demands and expectations based on the dead past or the imagined future.

Being an entrepreneur isn't really about starting a business. It's a way of looking at the world: seeing opportunity where others see obstacles, taking risks when others take refuge.

Depression is something that makes you lose your sight.

The game will tell you what to do on the floor, and that's what I try to do.
