I go to the movies a lot, and I regret when I see some actor that I used to like, to find them offering no more surprises.

On Belle de Jour, the producer was very protective. It was very hard for me.

I like being famous when it's convenient for me and completely anonymous when it's not.

I think one of the few times I've been involved with real-life characters was the story of Marie Bonaparte. I think it's really difficult to become someone that really existed.

Being a film actor is very different from a theatre actor.

When I first see the dailies, I look only at myself, but then you start to see the scene.

I have a strong sense of responsibility. I like to be directed, it's true. If I didn't like that, I'd do something else.
