Jacques Audiard Quotes

I think 'Scarface' is a great film, but if you have a character like Tony Montana, you don't identify with him at all.

You force the spectator to wonder about his actions.

I've always had a lot of time for servicemen. Yet there's been this bad relationship between civilians and the armed services. We say to soldiers, 'We want you when we want you, but stay away in peacetime. We're proud of you, but keep away from my daughter and don't come drinking in my pub.'
