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

I'm happiest on set because I'm not myself. I'm someone else. The moustache, the dinner jacket. It's not me. You're always this sort of double, and it's liberating. Imagine being stuck with yourself... all those doubts.

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

Just telling a story. That's cinema. It's not silent, black and white. It's a simple story that's well made.

As an actor and director, you have to take risks, even though I don't like saying that word. You can make a mistake.

OSS 117 and maybe Un Balcon Sur La Mer directed by Nicole Garcia. It's a typical French movie with typical French themes with French actors, a French director.

In France, I have lots of opportunities. Maybe now I'll be offered films in America. It's the encounter, with the director and the story that counts.
