I never think of the completed film, rather the adventure of what I'm about to live.

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 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.

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 to shoot too many movies since I like to do them well.

I watched Gene Kelly for his smile, for his energy. Vittorio Gassman for his movement. Clark Gable for his mustache. And I watched Lassie who was happy as a dog.

What matters to me is my own estimation, and Im very tough on myself. I need to be proud of what Ive done and I work hard for it. I had a very Christian upbringing... lots of guilt. A good thing, It keeps you sane.
