I don't get many good offers. I like to follow the same kind of path I follow in France. If I don't feel the movie is very original or has a good amount of potential, I don't do it. In the films I've done I can feel I'm part of a specific universe, but those sorts of opportunities are quite rare.
I think movies say a lot [about real life], even more than theater. It says a lot about the invisible, that movies are so fascinating. The camera lens is like a microscope that goes beyond the surface. It's like you're exploring a secret, so you explore the director's secret, you explore the actor's secret, and therefore you explore the universe's secrets.
For a long time I have compared cinema to music, I think cinema has a lot to do with the rhythm of music
Going through this musical experience really helped us to understand the core of the film.
Acting is a way of living out one's insanity.
You could call it a collection of self-portraits. Each photographer has really photographed himself.
