I think it's almost easier to make people cry than to make people laugh.

I just heard a very funny story about somebody who died yesterday, I'm sorry to say so but it was so absurd that you can't help laughing. And the person that was concerned about that story was laughing too.

So, sometimes, when I'm not happy with my performance and I have to think, I will think in English.

I'm a good storyteller.

Oh, I'm not English, I cannot talk on behalf of an English person. I'm French. I can say about French. They are quite emotional, though, and they talk about their emotions.

When you direct your first film, you always start by telling stories that you are familiar with.

Well it is sometimes difficult to act in another language.

Acting is contained – you act for three months, then leave it – but writing is the act of creation. Writing is dangerous.
