I'm a minimalist. I don't really need much to enjoy a good holiday - just my family and the bare essentials.

It is an actor's defect. I want everybody to like me, so I'll say what I think will please them.

Actually, I only have a few friends in real life. And when I say friends, I'm referring to those people who I've known since the 1960s.

In France, if you have any sort of talent, you'd better keep it here. And if you're going to go abroad, it had better not be America. The old battle - American versus Frog cinema. It's ridiculous.

I see most of my movies at festivals.

But I will say that most comedians are the saddest people I know. That is the biggest paradox to me.

No women no kids - that's the rules.
