Journalists ask me, 'Why don't you ever talk about sex in your performances?' True, I don't talk about sex - not in my personal life and not in my professional life. This is modesty.

When you succeed, at a certain point, you want to challenge yourself. Otherwise, you become boring. You become a has-been. It's not very interesting. I don't want to be this guy who has only succeeded in France.

If I were bombing with my jokes in English, I would go back to France. Maybe do that mime thing.

I love going to the movie theatre, seeing live comedy, and going to amusement parks.

You can take lessons to become almost anything: flying lessons, piano lessons, skydiving lessons, acting lessons, race car driving lessons, singing lessons. But there's no class for comedy. You have to be born with it. God has to give you this gift.

I have an incredibly dry sense of humor.

When I was doing comedy in New York, before I was in movies, I was never known as the deadpan actress. I was just a comedienne.
