I haven't done an international film for a long time.

I studied political science and international relations and had the intention of becoming a journalist or work in foreign affairs. I had no intention of making a film.

If you make a film too American, it won't travel. It will have no life outside of its own country.

Occasionally I will audition for a big overseas movie, but that's it.

I don't have any massive ambitions to be a movie star.

I'll say this, I'm no stranger to working with a foreign cast, foreign directors, that sort of thing. I love it, because I think that when you have people from different countries, it sort of brings everyone together, it's more of a worldly film.

In France, I have lots of opportunities. Maybe now I'll be offered films in America. It's the encounter, with the director and the story that counts.

I'm less comfortable making American movies because I don't know them so well.

Where I come from, it was a heresy to say you wanted to be in movies, leave alone American movies.

But I don't have such a strong desire to need to get away from filmmaking.
