In many cases for an actor it's a comfortable position to be in. But it's harder to fail as a director.

I feel very at home in an empty church. I feel the most protected. It's very mystical.

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

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.

The energy is important. It's the rebirth of the character. Even more than the sentence itself, it's the energy that has to come through. It's really 'Thank you!'

I don't want to become a superstar and not see my family anymore.

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.
