“You know French means like sophisticated, well educated, so far.”

“I think it's almost easier to make people cry than to make people laugh.”

“It is something actresses need to go through and I think they look forward to being naked in a movie. I don't know why, but it is something you need to exhaust from yourself.”

“As you know it is a comedy so everything is a little bit pushed. That's what's funny about this kind of movie is you can laugh about the absurdity, and the bad side of life.”

“I need the seasons to live to the rhythm of rain and sun.”

“Acting is contained - you act for three months, then leave it - but writing is the act of creation. Writing is dangerous.”

“So, sometimes, when I'm not happy with my performance and I have to think, I will think in English.”

“There is no doubt that this film is autobiographical, but at the same time it also tries to portray an ordinary couple in a language that everyone can understand.”

“Acting is wonderful therapy for people. Instead of suffering for yourself, someone will do it for you.”

“Well it is sometimes difficult to act in another language.”

“Mel Gibson would not be a good James Bond.”

“Words, yes, formulating things, creating something from your heart, it is something very necessary, yes.”

“Oh, I'm not English, I cannot talk on behalf of an English person. I'm French. I can say about French. They are quite emotional, though, and they talk about their emotions.”

“I just heard a very funny story about somebody who died yesterday, I'm sorry to say so but it was so absurd that you can't help laughing. And the person that was concerned about that story was laughing too.”

“What I am interested in is the present time.”

“When you direct your first film, you always start by telling stories that you are familiar with.”

“I think I'm a tough person, but for sure, I would talk under torture.”
