If You're A Serious Actor,

Paris In The Mid-'50s Was A Very Interesting Place. It Was Only Ten Years After The Third Reich Had Left, And The City Was Awash With Guns, And Crime, And Racketeering, And All Sorts Of Hangovers From A Very Difficult Time In French History. So It's An Interesting Time To Be A Policeman.

I Think I Have An Inner Confidence That My Tastes Are Pretty Simple, That What I Find Funny Finds A Wide Audience. I'm Not Particularly Intellectual Or Clever Or Minority-focused In My Creative Instincts. And I'm Certainly Not Aware Of Suppressing More Sophisticated Ambitions.

I Find His Films About As Funny As Getting An Arrow Through The Neck And Discovering There's A Gas Bill Tied To It.

I Mean I Can Do It When I'm Very Relaxed, And With Good Friends, Then I Think I Can Be Amusing.
