Like De Niro. He's one of the best character actors we have ever had.

As a younger actor, I had delusions. I would dream of Scorsese and De Niro; I would meet people, and it would be like this, and it would change moviemaking in France, and Paris would become the center of the world.

I want to be an Asian Robert De Niro.

Nobody is more truthful when he's acting than De Niro.

Well I'd really love to work with Robert De Niro, because he's still the most talented actor out there.

I found my niche as a character actor, and I've never felt like a movie star or teen idol and never wanted to.
