I love to not work. I love to go to the movies, I like to travel... I think I work maybe half the year. Sometimes, people think I've done three films in a year, but it's because I did a participation [cameo?] in a film. But I work for half a year, no more.

I've worked with Andre Techine lately and with a young unknown director on a short film. I choose my roles carefully.

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

I love to do very long and complicated scenes.

Marriage is obsolete and a trap.

I had mice that I kept as pets when I was very young, and I've always liked the way they look. Even rats. I'm not scared of them.

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