You know, when you start, especially with me, I didn’t really know I was going to be a movie actress. I thought I was going to do theater.

There’s a kind of chemical spark that comes sometimes with the character, that you don’t even have to think about how she is reacting, you just let yourself go. You just let the character take you, instead of taking the character.

I’m not interested in making money, or being wealthy enough to have a villa in Beverly Hills, because in Paris I don’t need that much money.

It’s funny how human beings are so entertained by crimes.

I would love to meet some directors, and why not do some other movies in America? But, I’m not obsessed with this idea. I’m feeling very free in Europe.

As an actress, I’m supposed to create something from head to toes, with clues, with lines, with shapes, and even with that power, I felt lost and not in control.

In modelling or football, being 30 is very bad. But, for an actress, ageing is like wine. You taste better and better because your body, your mind, your feelings, all this is a tool and it’s getting sharper with time.

Good characters are rare. As long as I find one or two a year, I’m happy.

I don’t act to be popular, or see my face on the cover of magazines every time I go out to get coffee. I don’t want to think about me all the time, and what I look like.

Having a movie that lasts and makes your image imprinted into the history of cinema, it’s very positive.
