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

When you're so passionate about cinema, the idea to direct your own film is really appealing.

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

I'm not really a model.

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

I love music. 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 !

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 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.

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.

I've been an amateur photographer since my teens.

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