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

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

I wasn't dyslexic, I was just very slow. I passed my time daydreaming.

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.

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 like the hot-cold, the sugar-salt, being able to play over-the-top and dramatic things - in the same film. Just as in my life, I can be very funny and at other times almost extinguished.

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