An Ample Arse Helps You To Be

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

I Was Always Storytelling, Since I Was A Child. I Remember Myself At 10 Years Old Telling Stories To My Sisters And Brother. This Is Something I Did Through My Adolescence And Even Through My Twenties.

When I Start Writing, The First Line Might Come From Reality, But The Second And The Third One, I Have To Write It. So This Is The Genesis Of My Creation. If I Want To Know What Happens, If I Want To Find Out The Secret, I Have To Write It.

If I Had Not Been Successful As A Director, Then I'm Sure I Would Still Be Telling Stories. I Would Have Continued On 16mm Or Found A Different Medium Through Which To Tell Them. Maybe They Would Have Been Less Glamorous Than Films, But I Would Continue To Tell Stories.
