Quotes ;






"I began at twelve years old, but in fact I began really by chance.
It was a friend of a friend of my mother's who was opening an agency,
and she was looking for young kids. And so I entered the agency, but more
by curiosity than real passion. And at first I had some small parts in TV movies--in fact my parents
didn't want me to miss school, so I was working just once or twice a year."

"I had a really regular progression--and this is really pleasant, I think--because I had small parts in TV movies,
then bigger parts in TV movies, and then small parts in films. And I think this allows you to get...experience of the set
and to get familiar with [the process]. And as I had a really slow progression, I think it really helped me
to stay lucid and not get carried away."
