FRANCOIS ARNAUD QUOTES

"I'm not going to lie, it's a bit scary" Francois in June 2010 discussing his role as Cesare. "Sometimes I feel like god, five months in Hungary, I'm going to be alone" Francois in June 2010 talking about filming in Budapest. “As a teen, I wasn’t very happy,” says Arnaud. “Theatre became my outlet to let everyone know I existed. After that, it’s as if I just tried to honour what theatre had done for me.” “He was just like my dad,” Arnaud says. “I never thought that before I met him. But when we read together, I realized they were very similar. Francois talking about Jeremy "Yeah, I did actually. There's something really dangerous about the guy, but I don't know, I felt him from the inside. I said, “That could be me.” Like, if I was in that position, I could do these things. Which is probably very scary". Talking about auditioning for Cesare Borgia “Based on what I saw of myself in the first season, yes, I’ve changed Cesare" Talking about Season 2 "I did a lot of research for the part I was playing and the time period, not only on the Borgias but other renaissance families at the time like the Medicis. I also read works inspired by Cesare Borgia like Machiavellis "The Prince", which basically became my bible" - Francios on how he prepared for his role
