But I'm going back to Cannes. It's too important not to."
I remember the day exactly. I was in the middle of production for a pre-Golden Globes gift suite, so I was crazy busy. At the moment it happened, I had a major high-blood-pressure crisis, so I had to stop working and lie down for a minute. That's when I opened my laptop and saw my sister had posted on Facebook: "Paris is under attack." Immediately I called my brother. He didn't pick up, so I called his house. Then my sister-in-law told me: He was at the concert. In the Bataclan.
