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

If you're feeling insecure and you need to feel special, the best place to go is somewhere foreign where people treat you as special because you're different.

Boarding school is a wicked thing.

I was very lost as a teenager. Which is a horrible way to feel.

In fact, in many ways my mother was quite hippy-dippy, serving macrobiotic food and reading 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.'

French is a foreign language, but I've been speaking it since I was 18 so it's second nature to me.

I used to be so intensely preoccupied by unhappiness... now there are times where you might get down, but you can move on much faster now.
