France is an old country that needs to wake up.

Because I've made a film with such an amazing director as Tarantino, I'm much more conscious of working with good directors from now on, so that's what's important to me. I don't really care about making a big movie - I just want to make good ones.

It's so French to be a cat person.

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

I think that everything is part of creativity - the more you create, the more you have ideas, and the more you meet people.

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.'

It seems like the more you grow up the more you fear things.
