The more sincere I could be, the better it would be for the film.

Girls can wear jeans, cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, 'cause it's okay to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading.

You think that being a girl is degrading, but secretly, you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you?

There were always questions about my parents; I got so fed up with that.

In France, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family.

The more you turn down things, the more difficult it becomes to feel that the next one will be right.

I love being a beginner. It can be a terrible feeling because you're ashamed of everything you do, but it's so exciting at the same time.

I thought people would ask me really personal questions because I've shown more of myself, but it's a comedy, and people understand that it's a game we play.

There's always this thing of wanting to be elsewhere.

I hope one day I will be able to be completely myself. Maybe I'll be wilder.

I'm a very shy person towards my intimacy and private life.

Each year, more responsibility and freedom (they are companions) must be given to the child so that the final release in early adulthood is merely a small, final release of authority.

I realize that I was all error and deviation, that I never lived, that I existed only in so far as I filled time with consciousness and thought.

Every man is the conscious or unconscious author of his state.

I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.

I am not confident around people. Maybe, I have become slightly more confident over the years because of my profession.

An exile, ill in heart and frame,-- A wanderer, weary of the way;-- A stranger, without love's sweet claim On any heart, go where I may!

To give up my job as a temp and actually make a living doing comedy, it was staggering.

Live the moment for the moment.

I never want someone to come out of one of my films and say, "Damn. I wasted an hour and a half of my life." I'm trying to avoid that.
