Like everybody, I have invested in things that have gone bad, because there's never any guarantee of success or profit when it comes to money.
I think, when you are the prostitute. . . you don't want to be coming.
Awards are like hemorrhoids. Sooner or later every asshole gets one.

I had in mind a case close to my family, friends of my parents, who seemed to be the perfect bourgeois family, and a young boy, who when he was 17, committed suicide. It was such a shock. The parents didn't understand. Nobody understood why he did that. Everybody was exploring his life, trying to understand what the problem was. Everybody had a feeling that this guy had the perfect life: he was beautiful, he was clever. . . but he did that. I had that in mind, about Isabelle in Young and Beautiful, for the parents to see adolescents like aliens.

At that time if you are thinking say of your jobs and your other things which you have been thinking before, the transmission is poorer. Think of love. Think of the whole country, think of the whole world at that time. You are transmitters of these waves of love, and love will flow from you.
I hadn't won in Europe for two years, although I won twice in America last year, but it's great to come back and win. You never want to go a year without a win. It's very special to win and I'm really happy the way I did it.
