Jean Reno

“I think it's very important to keep being a child, to play, but to be a grown-up when you have to.”

“To be a star is a joke. To be an actor is a job.”

“The only thing that's difficult is the first step.”

“In my life, I want to play characters I'm not. I don't want to be a character.”

“I come from the theater. I learned to respect the text.”

“For me, the most important thing is the story.”

“Comedy is a serious thing. I suggest you buy a book and read up on it.”

“I prefer to be a part of a good story than a good actor.”

“I am a man of the Mediterranean. My temperament is not North European.”

“The family is very important. I am a family man.”

“I love my work. I've had a great life.”

“I am not a Hollywood actor. I am a French actor.”

“I have always done what I wanted to do.”

“I don't like to talk about myself.”
