I'm not a child star, but you could say that I've grown up on TV.

My character in 'La Haine,' he's not bad; he's unhappy, and usually, people are like that. Most of us are angry.
Kissing - and I mean like, yummy, smacking kissing - is the most delicious, most beautiful and passionate thing that two people can do, bar none. Better than sex, hands down.
