Being an actor in L.A. is like being in prison: you go, you serve your time, you try to replicate Johnny Depp's career-and then you move to Paris.

Los Angeles is a very magical place when you take the entertainment industry out of it. You have beautiful beaches and amazing mountains here. I'm a big rock climber. I head out into the mountains whenever I have free time. It's amazing.

I wish I had some interesting stories about living in L.A., but mostly I just do my work and then go home.

I'm a hopeless romantic, I say very loudly and proudly. I get a lot of stick for it.

People ask me, "Why do you love making films?" and I always say, "Because I love film." I hope that I can call myself a movie buff.

I don't categorize movies. I just look for great stories.

When you have passion it changes your perspective on things, you want every tiny detail to be right. You want funny moments to be funny, sad moments to be sad. You wanna give your all.
