|---|---|
| 1 | [on Marion Cotillard] She’s my most beautiful encounter cinema-wise. We resemble each other, we both hate jealousy between girls. |
| 2 | When I read the script of Inglourious Basterds (2009), I was like, wow, it’s been my dream to kill [Adolf Hitler] since I was like four, so I was kind of like Shosanna, already. I’m Jewish. I read the script, together with my grandfather, and he told me, “You have to make that movie, please”. So, it was not just for me, it was for my family. |
