An Ample Arse Helps You

I Tried To Think About These Two Issues Very Freely. With Sex, I Think I Can Manage With That. With Death, This Is A More Difficult Theme For Me. I'm Not A Believer, Even Though I'm Baptized. I Don't Practice. I Don't Believe In God, So I Feel Very Alone Facing Death. What I Discovered Is That The Only Way To Recognize Death Is If You Are Part Of Life, If You Are Part Of Sexual Pleasure, If You Link It With Sexual Pleasure.

I'm A Very Dull Passenger. I Don't Speak. I Don't Have Sex. No Alcohol. I Don't Do Drugs. The Thing That I Like About Flying Is That I Feel Like I Can Really Concentrate. I Used To Write Many Things, And Many Ideas For My Movies Belong To This Moment Where I'm Not Anywhere Specifically In Terms Of Time And Space And Geography. I Am Suspended, And This Suspension Fits Me Very Well.

All My Movies Have An Autobiographical Dimension, But That Is Indirectly, Through The Characters. In Fact I Am Behind Everything That Happens And That Is Said, But I Am Never Talking About Myself In First Person. Something In Me - Probably A Dislike Of Cheap Exhibitionism- Stops Me From Approaching A Project Too Autobiographically.

The 1980s Really Ended For Me In 1992 With The Film Kika.

Each Actor Is A Very Different Person, And Each One Has To Be Directed Very Differently.
