When I was 16, I felt very relieved to discover cinema. It was like an island where I could see life and death from another perspective. Every young person should be interested in that island. It's a beautiful place.

From Leos Carax

We all get a little tired of being ourselves sometimes. The answer is to reinvent yourself, but how do you do that and what is the cost?

From Leos Carax

I don't work with people who ask me questions.

From Leos Carax

I changed my name when I was 13. I don't know why but it made sense at the time. I wanted another identity. I wanted to reinvent myself.

From Leos Carax

When I was 16, I discovered this island called cinema and I thought: 'Oh, how wonderful; I'm ready.'

From Leos Carax

I don't think men were meant to be interviewed.

From Leos Carax

I mostly don't submit to talking about my work because I would like another talk about real life.

From Leos Carax

Men talk about art, and artists make art, but should artists talk?

From Leos Carax

When I made my first film, I had hardly ever seen a camera before, and I was a young man when I arrived in Paris from the suburbs. At the time, I didn't talk much. I was very shy, so the bluff served me. I was telling people that I had no money, and that I knew how to make films, but I had no proof.

From Leos Carax

My films start with images, a few images and a few feelings, and I try to edit them together to see the correspondence between these images and these feelings.
