I've been changed watching films or reading books or hearing music, and that helps you to live your life.

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

Sometimes I call directors. Sometimes I just meet with them. It just happens. It's not that I'm pushy. It comes naturally. But I go ahead. I don't stay in my armchair, waiting for the phone to ring.

My experience has nothing to do with creation, I don't think, even though maturity is helpful. In a creation process, there's an intuition that takes you and if it's nourished with awareness and experience, it's great.

Usually I love preparing. It's really the time I prefer, because it's a time of reflection and of possibility of growth - to let it cook inside.

I was so happy when they cast me in Chocolat, because it's one of my vices.

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