I don't think I could compare myself to Macaulay Culkin, because we're pretty much two different kinds of actors. He's done a lot of comedy.

I was born in Paris in the mid-1960s, and by the time I was 12 I had started going to the movies by myself. Most of the movies of that period never appealed to me.

What I wanted from film was fantasy, dreams, funny situations, extravagant decor - and beautiful women. -- Christian Louboutin
