But for me, to get the tattoo was part of moving into adulthood. Making a choice that is permanent and that I'll have to stick with.
Francois ArnaudI felt for a really long time, "When I grow up I want to be an actor." And now I'm like, "Oh, this is it now. This is my life."
Francois ArnaudI'm not sure I'll find acting satisfying creatively forever. If you get the good roles, it's great - if you have the freedom to choose your projects and not just do anything and everything. But I'd love to artistically commit to a project from beginning to end, which I think you can only do as a writer or director.
Francois ArnaudSome artists go through life not realizing that they have to be happy today. They're always thinking about the next job or the next thing: "I'll get this, then I'll be happy." Then you're miserable.
Francois ArnaudI never wanted to be famous or get any sort of recognition for my person or my personality; it has always been for my work. There's something that bothers me intrinsically about social media, but it's just expected of you now. It's almost part of your contract. But that's not what I'm selling. I don't want to sell anything.
