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

For me, it was a lot of pressure to make another movie after 'Inglourious Basterds' because I didn't want to do something wrong. I wanted to have a beautiful project for another American movie.

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.

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.

I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.

I never practice before, I never work hours on a script. I just choose my characters and trust them, and after that, it's about the director taking your hand.
