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.

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

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.

You can do a good movie, or you can do a good movie that can help people to feel the idea of what it is like to live. It can be good in an artificial way; it can be also a good movie for your own existence. You don't know that when you do a movie. You don't know if you succeeded, which is the most difficult thing.

I knew that the principle objective of my film was to be a sentimental or an emotional study. What I did was kind of like subterfuge.

I think the moment I discovered I definitely wanted to act was when I saw a play alone by myself when I was fourteen. Maybe it was a Moliere play? I discovered the atmosphere of the theater, and I knew I wanted to be an actor.
