- I think the ability to shoot with lighter and cheaper equipment has pushed young filmmakers to seek a more direct line to the truth, both in their storytelling and in their choice of cast. They are constantly looking for new faces. [April 2017]
- The Directors' Fortnight [Quinzaine des réalisateurs] audience is made up largely of cinephiles, instead of just movie professionals who want to show they're smarter than everyone else. [April 2017]
- I dislike 'labels'. I judge filmmakers individually. So much nonsense has been said in the past about the French New Wave, that I have long avoided using labels. [2013]
