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.

They say the day you lose your parents, you start to look like them.

I have learned that acting is not about beauty.

Coming from Paris, I'd really like to live in Rio. I think it's gotten better. It's not as violent. The economy is better. The middle class is rising.

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

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.

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