In France, I would like to worth with Patrice Chereau, who made Queen Margot.

As an actor I've played a lot of gloomy, romantic leads and even though I might not want to recognize it, I actually really have a sense of humor.

Since I knew I was going to make a film that was purely about emotions, and I knew that I ran the risk of being accused of amnesia relating to the social film, to prevent this I decided it would be good to have characters who were on the margins of society. These are characters for whom love is really the only way to know that they're alive.

I'm sure you can even find ménage à trois in medieval tales.

Paris, though it's a very famous city, it's very small, so people always tell themselves, "We're gonna love each other in Paris."

There's something about Paris, people just don't have anything else do there but love each other.

Because if I were gay, [and] I'm not gay yet — maybe one day — but if I were gay, I'd like to see movies where homosexuality isn't always a problem.
