I really enjoy being an actor!

To me, Sheitan movie is the answer to all the problems we have in France concerning immigration. That is a fake problem people can actually work together and do something very interesting out of it.
Vincent Cassel
Image
It was like a dream to me to suddenly get into the market with that kind of movie, like La Haine. It actually created my identity as an actor, that thing.
Vincent Cassel
Image
When you have a bunch of scripts that you have to read, the less you have, the better it is, because otherwise, everything is already planned and I think that's a terrible feeling.
Vincent Cassel

If kids really made all the parents better, there wouldn't be crazy kids in the world.
Vincent Cassel

I was thinking of going to London drama schools or to New York, because France didn't accommodate the things I wanted to do in film.
