"Physical expression was my first language: Before I was an actor, I was a dancer, an acrobat, a mime and a street performer."
"For a long time, I debated about whether I would make movies or join the circus and work as a clown."
"There's no doubt that I owe a lot to my training of stage acting."
"It's something that I learned even before I started acting: the movement, the dance of the body, is very important, and it comes before words."
"I have 30 years of experience working with Leos Carax, so all the films of Leos Carax are unusual or unique. I look at them as a journey: a journey which is very personal to Leos."
