I was born and raised in a suburb of Paris by a working-class family.

Everybody has some talents - we all have an art side and some talent - but you have some areas where you are better than others. My area is acting, I guess. I hope.

If I had to fall in love with all the actresses I play with and live the situations I have to play, I would be lost ! I need to be solid and know who I really am to have fun in making something else. I noticed, while talking with other actors, that they often let ambiguity float. I don't like ambiguity, it's dangerous. I need distance. I also think that the result would prevent the audience from identifying to the characters. If you feel the things too strongly, you simply close the doors.

Also, I have found that I really like to work in English. It's very strange because it's exactly the opposite of what I thought it would be like.

I quit after a bad car accident. The thing about boxing is that you can be a star for five or six years, but when you go back to the old life, it's tough.

If you want to be happy, live discreetly. Does that make sense in English?

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