(Reporter: "And obviously this kind of #MeToo movement is taking a new kind of movement in France. I mean, how are you finding that there’s like protests on the carpet? From my perspective, t’s quite poignant. See people protesting now, are you feeling same?")
"Yeah. I mean, it was going to come to France and they knew it. They just like—what I like most is that I feel like its finally inviting conversation, you know? I think it needs to be a conversation because it’s not just a female voice or a female story, it’s really man and woman carry different side and they’re affected by different ways. Now it finally becomes a more human conversation. Something more neutral and not so much about the judgment."
