The director took my face in his hands and asked me to show him my teeth, as with a horse. This happened on a Wednesday, and by the following Monday I was shooting.

When you have to get into the character each morning, give it your voice, your face, it was torture.

When I said I was going to audition for a film, I got a hearty laugh from all my family.

You can fake your age or mask it, but the passion that moves the characters has to be real.

Acting is the work of two people - it's only possible when you have the complicity, the help, even the manipulation of a director.

On my fifth film, it was then that I stopped dancing.

I like men with some belly who are a little over the hill.
