I love women in my heart but not in my undies.

I think anything is possible to anyone who dreams, dares, works and never gives up.

I have the impression that every time I'm heartbroken, I leave a bit of myself behind. I am the believer. I go back and do the same mistakes over and over again and sign them proudly.

A movie that is unable to elicit emotion isn't a movie.

I think that when you're in love, you progressively go back to who you are.

I don't belong to any school or clique or ghetto. I don't have any preconceived ideas. I'm trying to serve a story and not a genre or a style.

I was a very violent kid. I think movies and writing and art have been a way of channeling this. But I have will to defend people - it can be all sorts of people.

When I write a film, I have already made the trailer

I'm sick of people imposing cultural references and influences on me, but I'm not sick of people talking about my age.

I'd like to do something meaningful in the smallest ways, not just words or idiotic writing.

I don't master my craft or my style enough to have any philosophy or dogma to which I feel I belong.

The thing that's important to know is that you never know. You're always sort of feeling your way.

Right time, right place, right moment.

You were born to be real, not to be perfect. You are here to be you, not to live someone else's life.

The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar, is the test of their power.

I love food shows: Anthony Bourdain, Iron Chef, Chopped, you name it.

Only we should not be influenced by the winds.

The punitive use of force tends to generate hostility and to reinforce resistance to the very behavior we are seeking.

Mankind thinks either too much or too little of sin.

The whole tone now of TV is under 35 and directed toward males.

You overrate my capacity of love. I don't posess half the warmth of nature you believe me to have. An unprotected childhood in a cold world has beaten gentleness out of me.
