Quotes
If I had to fall in love with all the actresses I play with and live
the situations I have to play, I would be lost ! I need to be solid and
know who I really am to have fun in making something else. I noticed,
while talking with other actors, that they often let ambiguity float. I
don't like ambiguity, it's dangerous. I need distance. I also think
that the result would prevent the audience from identifying to the
characters. If you feel the things too strongly, you simply close the
doors.
