I make movies just as painters paint: I work where I can.
I had to choose between American and British actors, and it didn't take me more than a second to decide: Russians are Europeans and should be played by other Europeans.
British actors behave like Europeans; they are also extremely well trained.
The world distribution of French movies is a laughing matter. That is a fact.
When you create a movie, you create something in your image.
