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

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

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

I think I'm more demanding than any wife.

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.
