Kids in different countries know my movies by heart because they've seen them so many times. And wonderful returns never stop.

I'm at peace with myself. My film just may please audiences. At any rate, it's already a great prize to be part of just 16 films among all of the world cinema out there. I'm tranquil and satisfied.

I'd never make a film that I am not passionate about. My whole life, I've only made the films I wanted to make, even when I had limited means.

If I need something, I just draw it, have a few friends make it move, and it exists. I enjoy this strange power. I try to be a good sorcerer, though.

Fairy tales have a hidden power, and their appeal never ends. They're the best way to get messages across.

The film industry needs to find a way to bring audiences to movie theaters. It's more of a technical trick than a revolution.

Fairy tales are my natural language. I feel at ease telling fairy tales like a fish feels in water. I am totally free.

I like to make people happy, and with fairy tales, I can say anything I want to, but in an agreeable way.

I've never made films for children. That's why children like my films. Nobody wants to be treated as a baby.

My producers give me total freedom. No one asks me for anything; they just tell me to make a good film, and that's what I do.

Whatever the American officials said about the conflicts in Syria in general has no credibility. Whatever they say, it's just lies and, let's say, bubbles, has no foundation on the ground.

Give a member of Congress a junket and a mimeograph machine and he thinks he is secretary of state

The history of the world is the history of the privileged few.

When you're a kid and your father is an engineer, he goes to the office. I saw my father get up and go to the office in the house and write. But I don't see any similarities.

Sometimes, when you're not getting a whole lot of attention, you're actually walking the right path.

Like most women, I remember my first drink in tender minutiae.

Of one thing the reader can be certain: the more easily anything reads, the harder it has been to write.

Enemies are an indication of character.

I have two or three cars that I like, but today, Ferrari would be the best car I have driven in terms of being an impressive car.

You take the constructive criticism, because without the fans you would have no show.
