You have to have the essential pleasure of making a movie. It's such a huge factor and adventure for a director because you really are the leader and the captain.
I love the fact that there's an evolution in your understanding and the difference between the first time you play the role and last time you play the role - there's an incredible arc and that's wonderful.
I don't want to think my life as a career. I'm interested in my work only because of the meaning I can make.
I wouldnt mind being in an American film for a laugh, but I certainly dont want to be in Thingy Blah Blah 3, if you know what I mean.
What we wear is the shell of who we are.
I understand that nobody understands me, but I can't be someone I'm not.
It's so easy and comfortable to lie to yourself. Success is to become who you are. I think Hollywood thinks in a totally different way. But I think that as a human being, and not only an actress, that's really how you lead a successful life.
I've never sent a Tweet. I think I have an account but I don't know who runs it. I've never done one in my life.
Charm is more valuable than beauty. You can resist beauty but you can't resist charm.
I wouldn't mind being in an American film for a laugh, but I certainly don't want to be in Thingy Blah Blah 3, if you know what I mean.
When I was a little girl, I loved monkeys. I wanted to be a primatologist. I went to the careers office to ask how. Because nobody could give me a good answer, I opted for acting.
After Amelie was such a huge success that, strangely, I didn't want to do a movie which could be a huge success. I wanted to go and to do something smaller and more discreet.
