I love dancing in general and making girls dance. My generation doesn't do it enough.

I'm not an American actor. I'm a French actor. I'll continue in France. If I could make another silent movie in America, I'd like to!

I've never concerned myself with the labels people want to put on you. What matters to me is my own estimation.

I don't like having too many projects in the pipeline. I like to focus on what's at hand.

I want to work with a director who becomes my brother, my father, for two months. You give yourself over to that person.

I recycle. I have a house in the south of France and I have a small garden. My name is Dujardin - 'from the garden.' I grow carrots, peppers, strawberries, green beans, and things for salads, but there are lots of wild boars all around and they steal the food.

I like simple things. I like being in my family in the South and playing petanque.
