"I discovered rugby on TV during the 2007 World Cup [rugby union, in France]. I went to training at the club in Viriat [France], and since then I have never stopped." (ain.fr, 06 Jul 2021)

"I love rugby. It's a team and contact sport in which the physical challenge is permanent. In sevens the ball circulates a lot and very quickly, the phases of play are very active and dynamic. It's a sport that generates a lot of energy expenditure. Rugby sevens was not really my choice. It came to me. I like the fact that there is a lot of intensity and speed. But this choice was also motivated by the fact that I was called up for the European Championships [U18] in rugby sevens. It allowed me to evolve in this environment."

French rugby sevens player Camille Grassineau. (ain.fr, 06 Jul 2021)

"It's a dream come true, I've always wanted to play rugby and only rugby. With a lot of work I got there and I hope to continue for a very long time. I was surprised and very happy to be called up to the France team and I didn't think I would have a professional contract this year [2021]. My goal has always been to play for France and wear this jersey. Ever since I was little, I have refused to buy the jersey in stores because I wanted to deserve it by being selected."

"Strive for perfection, and keep my feet on the ground." (bourg-en-bresse.magville.fr, 22 Aug 2020)
