I didn't want to change my personality onstage, but I still had to build some kind of ego to be able to go up there. If not, there's no point.

Each time I changed, it was as if, on purpose, I didn’t want anyone to know too much about me, which of course now I regret, because I closed myself to everything. But it was my way of dealing with things.

In France I'm very private, I don't like talking about my life, and I imagined that people would think that I'm now an open book.

Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.

I have ideas of subjects and atmospheres that I love. I either want to go in a tougher, stronger direction or do the opposite: simple ballads.

I didn't go to acting school, so it was great to be able to rehearse for a month or two, to workshop, and be with a director who even gave me acting exercises.

The more sincere I could be, the better it would be for the film.
