If kids really made all the parents better, there wouldn't be crazy kids in the world.

I liked the idea of working with Jean Reno and Mathieu Kassovitz; there was something logical for me. I thought it was a good thing to do. Actually, The Crimson Rivers movie was a big success, and it was one of the biggest successes I ever had in France.

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

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

Cinema is entertainment, and people go to the movies because they want to feel good and forget about everything.

My father is best known for his light comedies, and Im best known for crazy bad guys with short tempers.

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