I never go straight to the point if I can go the most difficult way. Why be simple when you can be complicated?

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

People will now go to films with subtitles, you know. They're not afraid of them. It's one of the upsides of text-messaging and e-mail. Maybe the only good thing to come of it.

As a younger actor you want to be approved of, you want to gain respect, be admired. All of those things. To say: 'This is me playing this character. And aren't I fantastic!' I don't feel that so much now.

I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.

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 love shooting French films because I don't have to stick with being sophisticated or stuck-up.
