hate dark people
I like looking back at people's faces in the dark. I like noticing details that no one else sees. But I hate it in the old American movies when drivers don't watch the road.
fighting tyrants ideas
In the States, I learned to fight for every idea. Sometimes, a director has to be a tyrant to keep the quality.
generosity majority speak
When you speak about generosity, about something good we have inside ourselves, you're speaking to the majority.
hate love-you four
When critics love your film, you love critics. When they hate your film, you hate critics. It's the same everywhere, but maybe especially in France, where we have pretty good critics, except for three or four newspapers that are really dogmatic.
size three remember
I'm very slow, and I do everything myself. I remember I spent three days to change the size of something I had sketched because I felt it was too small.
hate trying pace
I hate to lose time on the set. On the set, you have to go at a good pace, because the clock is your master. For that reason, I have to know exactly what I'm trying to get beforehand.
struggle fighting important
I would be wary about working in the States because freedom is an important thing. I have made seven films and even on Alien Resurrection I had the freedom. I had to fight and struggle a bit but in the end I won out.
