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 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'm not really a model.

I've been an amateur photographer since my teens.

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

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

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 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 !

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

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 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 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.
