I like movies that have strong personalities, and Michel Gondry is so creative that his films are always something special to watch.

If you're weird, it's good to be weird.

It's boring to be like everybody.

I like characters who have strong facades and then have secrets. They have cracks.

I am a dreamer. Seriously, I'm living on another planet.

Don't be ashamed of who you are, embrace who you are.

I've never really had a relationship with Hollywood. I've never had a desire to work there.

I'm not ready to do any compromises for my work.

I can be maternal with my friends.

I would love to occasionally do English-speaking films, but the script is as important for me as the director.

When you decide to adapt some Russian novel, it's like everyone knows about it but nobody has read it.

I think that if you do an American movie it's important to earn some money, but in a stupid way, to be respected.

I don't really know Hollywood, and I think that L.A. needs a bit of time to really know the city, because it's such a huge city.

I'm not inspired by any career because I don't have any expectations.

I'm not sure that it's easy to find very interesting female characters in Hollywood movies.

I'm very interested in people, in general.

I've received some English-speaking scripts, but I was not interested in them.

Usually, I read the script very often. I think that everything is hiding in the script.

You have to have the essential pleasure of making a movie. It's such a huge factor and adventure for a director because you really are the leader and the captain.
