What was it like growing up in a town of 300 in Normandy, France?
It was great. The most dangerous thing that could happen is that you might get stampeded by a heard of dairy cows. When did you move to the United States? I moved to Los Angeles with my mother when I was 5 and my parents got divorced. I went back to France and lived with my father through high school. Then I told my mom I wanted to move back to L.A. and become an artist. The art of manipulating your parents as a 17-year-old is not to be underestimated. At 17, you’re at your peak. Well, I’m 29 and I’m still good at it. Your character in Myth of Fingerprints was involved in the traditional holiday situation where an unmarried couple wants to sleep in the same room when they stay with the folks. Has that ever happened to you? No, thank goodness. My parents were incredibly liberal and supportive – they actually encouraged me to bring girls home. They’d much rather know I was doing it under their roof than in some dangerous alley in South Central. Not that I would ever be doing it there…
