If I ever get married myself, it’ll be in jeans.
I believe you have to make things happen.
To embody a character, you have to lose all judgment about them.
I think it's too bad when teenagers become conformist in terms of fashion,because it's the ideal time to go off into your own crazy thing without looking completely idiotic.
I just wear jeans, big motorcycle boots and T-shirts that are way too big for me. I like anything that has lived a little bit, that has traces of life on it. Knitwear that's a tiny bit too long because you've pulled it with your hands, or jeans that are starting to get holes.
I feel so lucky that I live in a society that lets women be. I think that's the one of the biggest fights to keep having, is to fight for women to have the right to live their life the way they want to live it.
I’m not fascinated by people who smile all the time. What I find interesting is the way people look when they are lost in thought, when their face becomes angry or serious, when they bite their lip, the way they glance, the way they look down when they walk, when they are alone and smoking a cigarette, when they smirk, the way they half smile, the way they try and hold back tears, the way when their face says they want to say something but can’t, the way they look at someone they want or love… I love the way people look when they do these things. It’s… beautiful.
I just love a girl in a hat. It's really sexy.
In Los Angeles, you feel like everything revolves around the movies. In Paris, you still have other things to do.
In the '80s, I was the only one who didn't watch the shows about teenagers. I had to go over to friends' houses to see them. I still don't have a TV!
I believe a lot in the relationship between performers. When you're supported by someone's eyes, you're not alone.
An actor alone is a bit naked. Like when you do something in front of your mirror, you're usually really bad, because you're looking at yourself.
To me, performing means trying to do the most you can with the partner in front of you, with the story you're telling. There are actors who have carried me, who have brought me elsewhere or with them.
I think what is interesting in life is all the cracks and all the flaws and all the moments that are not perfect.
