The first time Adrian saw me was on tape. But you should know that this never works - never in the history of movies has someone been cast from a video.

I'm not a movie star like other actors in the way that I need to walk with a bodyguard.

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

Before, I was so stupid. But, you know, when you have friends who died on the street, you say, okay, let's calm down. It's not the kind of energy I want to have in life. I want to go slower, and longer.

I never analyze why I was with one woman instead of another.

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.
