There's a big difference between France and the U.S. In the U.S., immigrants must work to live. In France, they're taken care of by public finances. In France, there are millions of unemployed people already. We cannot house them, give them health care, education... finance people who keep coming and coming.

I fear that the migratory crisis signals the beginning of the end of women's rights.

France always had this balanced position that in so many conflicts was the voice of peace. I intend to maintain that. De Gaulle was pleading for a multipolar world.

Multicultural societies are multi-conflict societies.

When it comes to money nobody should give up anything.

Some libertarians say, 'Well, if people work harder, they can make more money.' But, you know, my mother is a nurse and I am a venture capitalist. I think no matter how great a nurse she is, she wouldn't earn a one-thousandth of what I can make, if that.

And after I make a lot of money, I'll be able to afford running for office.

Often, people who want to make interesting films simply don't have the money to do it.
