I first saw this on Tumblr – the bolded part, below - and googled to find the source so I could get a bit of context. The full interview link is at the end of the entry. It's really adorable. The interview has been transcribed into English by a non-native speaker, so some parts read a little odd but the translator has done a great job of trying to include all the non-verbal details and to explain the idioms and cultural context.

Francois Arnaud (currently starring in 'The Borgias') appeared on a French chat show and the following exchange took place:

Host: Here is something you once said – and ladies you will like this one: “Intimacy, contrary to what we may think, is not only in sex scenes. Sometimes it’s in the dialogues, when skins are slightly touching, or in the way we look at each other… That’s when complicity rises. That’s what is the most difficult to develop, because in the sex scenes, there is nothing else to do than the movements.” So for you, talking is more intimate than screwing?

FA: It’s at least as intimate. And I think that it’s… The idea is that… I think that sometimes nudity and sex can be (hesitant)… hot… (smiling) (Everyone giggles). But, but… (giggling)… But I think that emotional nudity or, you know… emotional bareness… I think that this is what we are always looking for… So, it’s wrong to think that they [sex scenes] are harder to shoot, or that it’s more intimate to take your clothes off



Talking is at least as intimate as the sexual act. Someone who gets it.
