He's said many things over the years about them. One of the things he was fond of saying in interviews about the ones in A Bout de Souffle was that they came about through editing the film down to a reasonable length. But he's also fond of making his readers and viewers come to their own conclusions, and purposely pissing off his interviewers by giving them all different answers to the same questions he keeps getting asked. Good on him, but he could help my job a little more :-) Gary - -- "The difficulty now is that unexceptional adults believe the loss of youthful dreaming is itself "growing up," as though adulthood were the passive conclusion to a doomed activity and hope during adolescence."
