"I was able to see Paul during a recording in April. What is obvious is the positive evolution he experienced during the game. He is much more open to people than when he arrived. Regardless of his career, for him, it will remain a huge adventure. Something very positive. Humanly speaking, for him, it's an extraordinary step forward."

"Paul is a charming boy. I was surprised because he was the one who called me. He knew my name when he was only 12 when I went into the game. He's a young man apart, but cute like anything. He has adapted well to everyone. We thought it was going to be more complicated for him, but in fact, not at all. He is always involved, he is a player, very nice. I think he is tired … But like everyone else, I too am tired. Except that he is young (she laughs) !"

"I came on the set of 12 strokes of noon in mid-May, to surprise Paul. This allowed me to discover the character a bit, to participate in recordings with him and to see how it works. She is a very endearing person. He sometimes had to show a lot of courage!"

"Paul took a lot of confidence. The key to success is the concept of rhythm, stamina and concentration so as not to wear out. Fatigue can make him lose, because that's how we lose: on an easy question! But I think we should not be afraid of him, we know his strength, but there must be ways to find his weaknesses!"

"When I met Paul, I wondered how to approach him, but in fact, it was he who came and I quietly let myself go with who he is. We met the week because I could only see him on TV. He is a great kid, on the networks I communicate with fans who love him. There is a real place for diversity in this show. Overall, we are all as we are. In no other TV game, he could not have cast. Here, we tell beautiful stories. Like Paul's. It's great and it's good they are having fun."
