Vincent Cassel
“Vincent has a lot of power. And when we tell him he’s going to be paired with a tree, he screams with laughter, he loves it! Actors are looking for incredible roles that they will never play again, only they could not imagine. …
Vincent never imagined that one day he would be asked to camp with a half-man, half-goat with a female tree as his companion.
Vincent never imagined when he was in circus school or listening to his father that one day he would be asked to portray a half-man, half-goat female at the tree as his companion!
I believe that in our professions, we are looking for that. So he takes it right away, because of that. Because it’s amazing and explosive, that’s the fun of it.”

“This is my Zidane attack. Zidane wanted to show that he was like everyone else, that his mother was more important than the world champion. At some point we need normalcy.
I have been honored abroad for decades. I had the feeling that I was on another planet, beyond reality. By doing a minor, maybe deep down I was looking for failure“.
