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

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

I think I'm more demanding than any wife.

I watched a lot of Douglas Fairbanks movies. He always played the same role with a mustache. Zorro had a mustache. The Musketeer had a mustache. Tarzan had a mustache.

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

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.
