When I'm doing a photo shoot, I'm not playing a part. I'm just trying to be myself.

I just choose the scripts I want to work on. I don't know why. It's not something conscious or that I'm doing on purpose.

Since first starting my career, I've grown accustomed to working with actors older than me. I'm always the youngest.

I did some theater as a kid for fun. But it was really by chance that I landed into acting.

My secret dream has always been to be a jazz musician. I tried the saxophone for a year or two when I was younger, but unfortunately I had to face the fact that I was not really talented!

I love good food. I'm an epicurean, that's for sure... But I am not really a good cook.

Well, I think it can be quite helpful to be working on a character who actually existed, historically. Of course, you might have material to study and help you create the character.

I think I would never be ready to do a regular job. I couldn’t go to the office every day at the same hour. I love my life. This freedom.

For me, cinema becomes grandiose when it imposes its own mythology and its own reality.

The most challenging thing is how to portray someone that is so well known that people still recall him in a very precise way.

If you decide to direct a film, it's because you have something to say, something to show to the audience.

I had a really regular progression--and this is really pleasant, I think--because I had small parts in TV movies, then bigger parts in TV movies, and then small parts in films. And I think this allows you to get...experience of the set and to get familiar with [the process]. And as I had a really slow progression, I think it really helped me to stay lucid and not get carried away.

As for a fashion designer, you have those very precise deadlines to keep so you have to renew yourself constantly every three or six months. When you think about it, it's so intense.

I think an actor can actually gather moments, memories and emotions for his next character. So, it's a constant work.

I don't think there is the same space for fashion designers to create like Yves was doing it. So, it's that he's one of the last, great geniuses in fashion.

I studied cinema at the university so I had a very classical approach to it. I studied all those silent films, and then the films from the 1940's, the Nouvelle Vague, the late Hollywood films. Now I realize, as a young actor, that it's one of my duties to actually be aware of what is today's industry and today's next big directors.
