Growing up, I've always felt I was God's favoured child. Circumstances to help me just happen.

It is my philosophy that one should not excel in only one thing but try to strike a balance between different things.

If you ask me what I should say to the girls who are making money, I think it's as normal as a guy making money.

I believe in finishing what I start; not being able to do that makes me feel weak.

My goal as an actor was to work - to be a working actor, whether it was in theater, and, well, I didn't even consider film and television when I was in New York, but what came along, came along.

I think that in France, we really admire American films, we admire their drive, we admire the modernity and ellipsism in the film and the writing and the style of acting, and we look at them perhaps in a way to see what we can steal from them, too, to make our own films more modern.

I grew up on film sets but more around the process of making films. I saw a lot of the editing process and the writing process, which takes years. That really affected me growing up, that side of it.

Creativity is an inherent human quality of the highest order. When we create, we become more than the sum of our parts.
