I don't know any woman in France who doesn't talk to firemen and smile at them, because they're always so sweet, and they're wearing those tight pants. Even my dad looks at their ass when they walk down the street!

Few years ago, I said something about the Academy being very white male, which is the reality, and I was slashed to pieces by the media.

My dad has always been such a great dad, and he's brought so much culture to my life. He dragged me to see every single movie at the cinématheque as a kid. I saw everything from Star Wars to Bergman.

I'm a very independent person, I love being alone, writing and doing music and stuff.

I can't really explain the feeling of acting. It makes you the most insecure you can possibly be.

The people that are succeeding have often had a mentor of some kind. I think it makes a huge difference.

The way I work is that I never let people do an assembly. I don't like it because it shapes the film in a way that I can't really control. To me, editing is making the film and it's a huge process and editors are under-rated.
