You have to encourage people not to give in to the temptation to be normal, even if it isn't easy - because when you're young, you really want to belong.
I used to spend hours at night, downstairs, in front of the only full-length mirror in the house, standing on the table working out what I would wear to school the next day.
I constantly make fashion mistakes but I think it's good to take risks.
I didn’t want people to decide what I was going to wear and what I was going to look like and how I should behave.
I had starred in TV movies without much artistic value. They gave me a certain range. I knew that I was going to continue my studies, but I wanted to try something else on the side. I wanted to see what would come of it.
A film is a great deal about what you see, and the silhouette of a character tells you a lot. I'd love to go into film costume.
Paris is where my family are, but it's not really home now because I have dear friends in London and dear friends in New York.
I think it is important to pass on the message to young people who are going through a difficult time with friends that it will pass.
That's the problem with the Internet: You do a naked scene and then it's taken out of context and put on websites that have nothing to do with film.
I actually don't trust anyone who tells me they don't like New York.
There are very few actresses who can grow old and still get exciting parts I think it's very important for me to have wider horizons, rather than just waiting for calls.
I realised that since I was a child I wanted to be an actress just to dress up in big fabrics and corsets and have adventures riding horses with lots of blood and action!
I can wait for film projects without having to do things to live.
If I ever get married myself, it’ll be in jeans.
