I can only say that whatever my life and work have been, I'm not envious of anyone-and this is my biggest satisfaction.

Some suggestions for you :

In Paris, one is always reminded of being a foreigner. If you park your car wrong, it is not the fact that it's on the sidewalk that matters, but the fact that you speak with an accent.

I did not have a reputation to defend.

Whenever I get happy, I always have a terrible feeling.

Cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theater.

If you have a great passion it seems that the logical thing is to see the fruit of it, and the fruit are children.

You have to show violence the way it is. If you don't show it realistically, then that's immoral and harmful. If you don't upset people, then that's obscenity.

Every failure made me more confident. Because I wanted even more to achieve as revenge, to show that I could.

I want people to go to the movies. I am the man of the spectacle. I'm playing.

I still had some honor... I still have some now.

I never made a film which fully satisfied me.

Normal love isn't interesting. I assure you that it's incredibly boring.

My films are the expression of momentary desires. I follow my instincts, but in a disciplined way.

I don't really know what is shocking. When you tell the story of a man who is beheaded, you have to show how they cut off his head. If you don't, it's like telling a dirty joke and leaving out the punch line.
