Alternate genres.
When I do projects like
Sambre
and
Jeux d'influence
, I then need relief, lightness: that's what
La Tribu gave me,
whose tone I liked, between humor and emotion.
Furthermore, the blended family is a real social fact, which I find little treated in fiction.
My character ?
Camille has the faults of her qualities.
She is bright, positive, energetic, much less anxious than her companion.
She always wants to find solutions, but sometimes errs on the side of too much good will: her frenzied optimism can become painful for others.
This stubbornness is exhilarating to play.
What do I share with this character?
I too have a joyful nature, and there can be a form of excess and crazy in me.
How does this series resonate with today's society?
It relieves the parents of their guilt.
We all have faults, we can all be overwhelmed by our children, by the famous mental load.
There is no manual for the perfect parent, and we do what we can.
Flawless is impossible, and the series is uninhibited on this point.

In an interview, tongue in cheek or language too loose?
I remember this sentence from Vanessa Paradis that I made my own: “Ask me what you want, I will also answer what I want.”
I wasn't always aware that I had a choice: sometimes, out of politeness, I sometimes responded even when I didn't want to.
I don't do it anymore, but I make sure that the journalist has something to write or broadcast.
Is talking about myself a chore?
We prefer to talk about the project than about ourselves, but it's not hell either.
You shouldn't lie to yourself: it's flattering that people are interested in you.
Besides, when this is not – or no longer – the case, we are offended.
It's ambivalent.
What do I think of myself when I look in the mirror in the morning?
I can't stand reading stuff where women and men say, “It's great to get old.”
We have to stop the rhetoric.
So, yes, it's a chance to get older, but the truth is that some mornings, I don't like my reflection very much.
It's real work to continue to love yourself despite upheavals, and this new injunction to age well doesn't help.

The question I'm not answering?
When people ask me about my son: I did not ask his permission to talk about him, and he does not have to endure my choices which involve media exposure.
Do I lie in interviews?
I'd rather not tell than lie.
What do I like people to say about me?
I read the good and the bad, but I know that neither is totally true in general.
What touches me, however, is that a project or a character can slightly modify the life or perception of a spectator.
A mother wrote to me that after seeing
Sambre
, her 17-year-old daughter, who had been attacked, decided to go see a psychologist.
It moves me a lot.
The instructions for the perfect parent do not exist, we do what we can

The last time I was proud of myself?
When I overcame my phobia of flying a few weeks ago.
Eleven hours of flight, no crisis or tears.
A small victory.
What am I going to do after this interview?
Read a script, go to my therapist, then pick up my son from school.
