We didn’t want to disrupt the creative process. We have the chance to make the films we want because the films are not expensive. It’s very rare to be able to do that. It’s completely pure.

I don't want to go to the Bahamas on holiday. I hate islands. I want to go to Brittany, where it's cold and raining, and there's nothing fancy about it.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.

You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific details.

I'm an adaptable nomad. I love Paris, I've been living in Los Angeles and New York since 1990. I love London, too. My roots are inside of me.

I was six years old when I saw my first Godard movie, eight when I first experienced Bergman. I wanted to be a director when I was fourteen.

My therapist in Paris once told me that being creative is a better form of therapy for me than sitting on his couch.

Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?

I can't really explain the feeling of acting. It makes you the most insecure you can possibly be.

Maybe I'm a bit of a psycho-but I'd rather be psycho than boring.

I like doing sequels. Basically, I think it's a fun thing to follow characters in time. In real time.

I ain't taking no more rides on the stupid train.

I would rather not watch myself in movies. I enjoy the experience, but I won't really see the film until they're on cable deep on into my life so I can pretend it's someone else at another time.

Keep a little space in your heart for the improbable. You won't regret it.

If you believe in unlimited quality and act in all your business dealings with total integrity, the rest will take care of itself.

Changing the story until you believe it.

Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right or better.

Team spirit means you are willing to sacrifice personal considerations for the welfare of all. That defines a team player.

We need to be confident. We need not to blink.

I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.

How deluded we sometimes are by the clear notions we get out of books. They make us think that we really understand things of which we have no practical knowledge at all.
