I wouldn't mind being in an American film for a laugh, but I certainly don't want to be in Thingy Blah Blah 3, if you know what I mean.
I wanted to be a primatologist. I went to the careers office to ask how. Because nobody could give me a good answer, I opted for acting.
Everyone thinks I have an ethnic origin, and could be from North Africa or parts of Asia, or Italy and Spain. But, as far as I know, I'm 100-percent French.
I started off in this dreadful, vulgar film called The Libertine. I was just learning. I needed the money.
I show through my movies that I can do something else. But I always play strong-minded characters. I think it's maybe because I'm like that. I love being by myself.
I'm a tomb when it comes to my personal life. I never give even a mote of dust of that away.
Hollywood doesn't need me. After 'Amélie,' I didn't get any offers that interested me. I have very eclectic tastes, but it's important for me that a movie be sensitive, clever and subtle.
I believe in God, but I am not sure to trust Him so much.
I can walk around Paris, but there are always eyes looking at me. The difference is now there are people recognizing me. The change is brutal. I can't reverse it.
I like the cloud of milk when you put it in tea, the smell of gasoline and lights through a windowpane. I don't like to receive a postcard and not recognize the signature. And I don't like a limp handshake or the smell of a cigar.
I have no idea what it is about me that makes people connect. But I'm shy with people I don't know.
