I really believe great actors, even with disease and age, can be great.

But when you work with the director and the real person who is playing opposite you, it changes everything. You are almost in a working session. I was very comfortable, and that’s maybe what helped me to get the part.

I don't feel restricted by the language: I feel more free.

And I think it is the genius of actors to be able to escape whatever people are expecting of them. Otherwise you become like a factory worker.

I like Paris. My problem is I don't like Parisians.

It’s a matter of time; you adapt to the different culture and different way of life. Human beings are adaptable.

And what's more I've got no need for anyone to tell me how to do it. I am not interested. You act how you want to and leave me alone to do my own thing.
