I know that sometimes you have to reason with yourself and say, "This is just TV" or "This is just a movie," but I think also as an actor it's your job to find it so very important.
Francois ArnaudI'm not in the business to promote myself. I'll happily promote the show that I worked so hard on - that's fine. But I feel like there's a shamelessness about promoting yourself now that I'm really uncomfortable with.

Francois ArnaudWhen I hear myself speak French, I look at myself differently. Certain aspects will feel closer to the way I feel or the way I am and others won't.

I often find when looking at people who are comfortable in many languages, they're more comfortable talking about emotional stuff in a certain language or political stuff in another and that's really interesting, how people relate to those languages.
