I mean my father was killed when I was six. And I only have tiny, tiny flashes of memory.

I know people think that I always play these characters who are in control and can chop someone's head off with a look.

The Cannes film festival is about big-budget films but also remarkable films made in different political regimes by film-makers with little resources.

I really like acting in French. It's actually quite different for me, from acting in English. It's fun acting in a foreign language. You're liberated or freed from preconceptions.

I do a film because I like the story and I want to give life to a character - I don't necessarily have to agree with the director.

I do not want to pour out my heart to the world. I am cautious of what I say and to whom.

I just don't see very many films. Because I make them.
