People always go to Paris for their honeymoon. It's like they think because the distances are closer, it's much warmer.

Paris, though it's a very famous city, it's very small, so people always tell themselves, "We're gonna love each other in Paris."

I like being surrounded by students and intellectuals.

I knew that the principle objective of my film was to be a sentimental or an emotional study. What I did was kind of like subterfuge.

There's something about Paris, people just don't have anything else do there but love each other.

I tried to make a list of films where there's two men and one woman and I realized there's films like this everywhere.

I wanted to be a lawyer. I love that job; I dont know why.

What valor were it, when a cur doth grin, for one to thrust his hand between his teeth, when he might spurn him with his foot away?

Their insatiable lust for power is only equaled by their incurable impotence in exercising it.
