[on being asked if there were any topics he would not joke about] Uh, yes. Rape. Rape would be one of them. I also stay clear of homosexuality or anything dealing with that right now, because it’s such a sensitive topic in today’s times. There are words I’ve used in the past that I wouldn’t use now because of the attention those words get.

Happy Birthday actor Eva Green

Born: July 6, 1980 in Paris, France

[about the sex scenes in The Dreamers (2003):] It must be very shocking for the American people, but what I don’t understand is why they are so crazy about that. I don’t understand why you can’t see naked people on screen but we can see a baby being killed. It’s quite strange. They’re too puritan, too uptight. [February 5, 2004]
