France loves American cinema because when an American remake is successful, it makes us money to produce more French films.

Ever since the first 'American Pie,' I've always been happy to just have an opportunity, I just didn't think it was going to be with comedies. Now I really like it.

I had always studied French and was obsessed with French films. I hated the way American films always had happy endings. I liked the way French films had dark and unpleasant characters; it was much more realistic.

I love shooting French films because I don't have to stick with being sophisticated or stuck-up.

I'm less comfortable making American movies because I don't know them so well.

One of the things that made 'American Pie' great was also the sexiness of it.

I'm very happy in France making movies.

I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.
