"Out of all my memories of the Annecy Festival, the best ones are when I came when I was a student. You come across hundreds of different nationalities, but we all speak the same language."
"I met the producer of my first short film at Annecy, and we all know that there aren’t other films without a first film."
"I return every year like an excited child going back to summer camp. And each time I say to you 'don’t change a thing', and each year you change something and it’s even better than before."
"I will never forget the support and kindness about me and my projects at Annecy this last decade. I appreciate it."
