I always had the sense of being in the spotlight, being on stage, being looked at.

There is this idea that its very different from the French point of view to work in America blah, blah, blah. But I think its different from one person to the other, not from one country to the other.

When you see violence in movies in general, it's very quick and painless, which isn't what it's like.

It's always interesting to see a director trying different things, and on top of it, doing it right each and almost every time.

I've always loved the idea of changing myself, wearing costumes and disguises. It takes you back to being a kid, to dressing up.

The thing is, as an actor, I get bored a little bit. I love to act. And between action and cuts, when you work for somebody great, it's wonderful and I still love it. The moment where you create, that instant is still magic to me. But, all the rest, I get bored with it - all the waiting, and the fact that you have to make appearances, that you have to share your life.

I used to be more self-conscious about style because when you're younger, you want to exist, you want to show everything you do.
