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

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 don't want everyone to like me, and I don't choose who likes me. You have to give them the choice, give them the option.

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

I don't care about my image.

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