What makes a person sexy is when he's not trying to be sexy.

Acting is a tough business, and you need to be in good shape mentally and physically.

When you really put your heart in the work, you don't think of how you look. And I think that's the beauty of it.

I was used to theatre classes. I studied with my mother; she was a theatre teacher and directed, too, so it was very family-like. Then I studied with a great teacher in Paris, and she was wonderful; she pushed me, but she was a warm soul.

It's challenging as an actor to let go but I had some pleasure out of it too. To not have the effort of having to present myself is quite liberating.

I want to make films that are political and social. Films with a message or an idea. Films that dare to ask.

I like intensity. If it's too mellow, I feel like, bleah. I like intensity, because it's way of reaching spaces inside of you, and it's my need of knowledge, of knowing about myself regardless.
