I started doing that as a teenager, and here I am today, because of that. I believe that's the best way to change things for Black people."

If I play as a black actor, people will only see that. I think my key was to perform as an actor, not as a black actor. And after winning the Cesar, I was an actor with a Cesar. there are many more adjectives to describe who I am. I'm not only black."
