I come from an acting family, my father was an actor, and I had to fight my way and just create my own identity.

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

Cronenberg's a lot of fun, and that a lot of people don't know watching his movies. He doesn't take himself seriously. He's still reinventing himself.

The minute I started being recognised, I became much more discreet.

And now I have a big house, nice clothes and I travel in first class and I love it, so maybe it's time to enjoy being a star.

It was like a dream to me to suddenly get into the market with that kind of movie, like La Haine. It actually created my identity as an actor, that thing.

Women? I'm still working on the subject. I haven't finished my studies. I would say I'm so happy that they're around. This is the salt and pepper of life. This is what makes me wake up in the morning - even more than work, really.
