La Haine - first of all, it was the story of friendship. I was very close with Mathieu Kassovitz he was somebody I met in the nights of Paris. And the hip-hop scene and all that...

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.

I'm an actor, that's what I do every day. Dressing up is part of my job. But whatever you wear you should always be yourself: never go totally with the fashion but use what there is available to be an individual.

I'm producing more, but I think to direct, one has to have a burning desire, and that's not me. I'd rather do something else.
