I do consider myself as being French, I suppose.

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'm a bit of a Doubting Thomas - always worrying about things.

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

As actors, we're always asked to portray and react to these extreme circumstances, otherwise it's not interesting. They are agonizing things to think about.

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