“I would love to occasionally do English-speaking films, but the script is as important for me as the director.”
“I wouldn't mind being in an American film for a laugh, but I certainly don't want to be in Thingy Blah Blah 3, if you know what I mean.”
“In France we have a law which doesn't allow the press to publish a photo that you didn't approve. It lets the paparazzi take the picture, but if they publish this picture, you have the choice to sue the newspaper. So me, I always sued them.”
“I never want to do the same things twice. I like surprises.”
“I feel very French and I need my life here; I need all my friends and family.”
“I like when an image could be just one of several others which would create a story. That you can imagine who are those people or what would happen before, what's going to be next; I like when there's a past and a future that we can imagine when we see photos.”
“Amelie' was a very precise, a very composed performance - ultra-defined, down to the tips of her fingernails, the ends of her hair.”
“It's difficult to feel that people are looking at you in the street. I don't like the fuss.”
“I like the light that comes off metal shutters at siesta time in the summer, having a break from driving in the shops at motorway services, the odour of petrol at petrol stations, rolling down little slopes. I hate it when you tread in a puddle and the water soaks your socks.”

“I'm not sure I'm quite ready to have someone be a prospector of jobs for me, because I believe there's some kind of destiny involved with meeting people... some things are just meant to happen.”
“It was very difficult to go from relative anonymity to such huge success in such a short space of time.”
“After each experience, you grow up, you get enriched with something, and you don't know how you're going to be in six months, you don't know what you're going to want, what you're going to need.”
“When I was a teenager, I thought nothing would ever happen to me because my childhood was so normal. I had this complex of normality.”
“In certain environments young adults can't choose their lives because of family pressure. In the bourgeoisie there is still a sense you will marry within that milieu.”
“I don't want to live in Los Angeles. The city depresses me! It is too flat. There are too many cars.”
“I understand that we cannot make other people happy when they are unhappy.”
“I think that when you have that really strong desire to work with someone it's because, instinctively, you feel you have a certain kinship.”
