Every time a director calls me and says, 'If you practice a lot in two months, can you be an American?' And I always tell them, 'Well, maybe but I'm French. So it's going to be hard to be someone else.'

France is an old country that needs to wake up.

I love acting, but directing and writing have always been just as important. I started to write so many things when I was even a child. I wrote my first play when I was, like, seven years old. That was me - a writer - for years.

I'm in love with love, so I'm always taking risks! I think it's part of love, taking risks.

I'm not scared of growing old, I'm just scared of not achieving everything that I want to do.

Every time I play in a movie, I never expect that it'll be huge. I don't like thinking about that, because it's so scary.

When I was shooting with Tarantino and Mike Mills and amazing directors, it made me think that I would never be a director. It's obviously too hard.
