Working with the likes of Joseph Fiennes was just an incredible experience.

When Scorsese or Coppola cast celebrities in their work, it goes without question.

With a lot of actors, you've got to chip through the surface to see who the real person is.

Casting directors don't necessarily want a more recognizable commercial face. Sometimes, they want a lesser known person.

We all respect sincerity in our friends and acquaintances, but Hollywood is willing to pay for it.

So I think it's fair to say it's even more of a challenge for some of these actors that are coming up, because there's such a pressure to look good, to be sexy and be palatable to people on whatever level.

I don't really get off on the anonymous love of strangers, which I think a lot of actors do. They're lacking something in their own personal lives, so they want the adoration of autographs and all that stuff.

In Hollywood today, it's cool for guys to wear nail polish and earrings in their lips and tongues. I don't get it.

Even on the red carpet, French celebrities keep it minimal. Think of Charlotte Gainsbourg - the look can be quite undone.
