If you approach Cannes with a sense of humor, nothing is that bad. You have to take it for what it is; otherwise, it's silly.

Cannes is a circus, so you have to have fun with it. Everything suddenly becomes funny. And the promotion of a movie - that's where you really need to be a good actor. You need to make journalists believe that what you're saying is just for them and you've never said it before, even when you're talking about the same film over and over again.

Spending two days in a hotel doing interviews is not my goal. No, I could be with my kids. I could be making love. That's real life.

My two boys, who are 8 and 10 - I can't tell them one day that I refused to be the villain in a Bond movie.
