• Many quite popular films are filled with violence. I think the difference between those and my films is that I show the cause and effect of violent activity.

Mine have violence which keeps Donald Duck in the hospital for six months and creates a trauma which he will remember for the rest of his life.

So they have to act now.

• The seed of a bamboo tree is planted, fertilized and watered. Nothing happens for the first year.
  There´s no sign of growth.
  Not even a hint.
  The same thing happens - or doesn´t happen - the second year.
  And then the third year.
  The tree is carefully watered and fertilized each year,
  but nothing shows. No growth. No anything.
  For eight years it can continue. Eight years!
  Then - after the eight years of fertilizing and watering have passed, with nothing to show for it - the bamboo tree suddenly sprouts and grows thirty feet in three months!

• The day when a Frenchman switches from the formality of vous to the familiarity of tu is a day to be taken seriously. It is an unmistakable signal that he has decided - after weeks or months or sometimes years - that he likes you. It would be chulish and unfriendly of you not to return the compliment. And so, just when you are at last feeling comfortable with vous and all the plurals that go with it, you are thrust headlong in to the singular world of tu.

• In 1494, King Charles VIII of France invaded Italy. Within months, his army collapsed and fled. It was routed not by the Italian army but by a microbe. A mysterious new disease spread through sex killed many of Charles’s soldiers and left survivors weak and disfigured. French soldiers spread the disease across much of Europe, and then it moved into Africa and Asia. Many called it the French disease. The French called it the Italian disease. Arabs called it the Christian disease. Today, it is called syphilis.
