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

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.

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

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.

What I like about theatre is the responsibility you have with your character.
