“What is played in French cinema does not only concern our very privileged environment, it concerns all of society”

“We are a family. We say everything, right? All of you who are not impacted by issues related to invisibility, stereotypes or the issue of skin color…the good news is that it will not happen without you. Think inclusion”

“The best thing would be for all talents, regardless of skin color, to have access to the same opportunities”

“I would be delighted if after this book, and with the other actions we plan to take, that all communities be represented”
