“An actor who defines himself as an artist gives me a certain modesty”

I think that calling yourself an artist is outrageous. I think of artists and I think of Picasso, of very important people. For me, art is a transformation of reality, turning it into a higher thing … An actor who defines himself as an artist produces a certain modesty in me. Like what artist? I prefer to say that I am a worker, that I am an interpreter, I am an actress, director or producer, but what about an artist? Furthermore, that should not be said by one of himself, it should be said by others.
