I'm an actor, that's what I do every day. Dressing up is part of my job. But whatever you wear you should always be yourself: never go totally with the fashion but use what there is available to be an individual.

I really enjoy being an actor!

I was thinking of going to London drama schools or to New York, because France didn't accommodate the things I wanted to do in film.

I have a huge relationship with Brazil; it's almost a love affair, I would say. And to me, to introduce that specific martial art like capoeira in Hollywood movies was something important to me.

Good guys need to be a little dirty otherwise they're just boring.

I think I'm actually more vulnerable than people imagine.

I did direct two short movies. I learned many things, and one of the things I learned was that I am not a director. It has to be visceral, and it's not for me. I feel much more comfortable acting.
