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.

With a film you go with the script that's already written. And I've never thought of a project, a film that would come from my own desire. I don't think I can do it. I need someone else's desire to be able to do something. With a record, it is completely different, it's a collaboration with another artist, but I'm willing to go into intimate places with no masks on.

I came to understand that people come and see you because they like you. They don't come to throw things at you.

It's difficult for me to write in English as it's not my first language, but French is even worse because of my father's influence and because the comparisons that I - not even other people - would make.

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

The more you turn down things, the more difficult it becomes to feel that the next one will be right.

It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.
