I had a grungy period and looked like a tramp for a very long time - my mum really hated it! I destroyed her entire '70s wardrobe by putting studs into everything - I thought I was really cool. But it's good to experiment - I even had dreadlocks at one point.
There's a kind of amateurishness among French actresses, but I don't share that completely.
The more you live, the better an actor you are, but maybe I'd like to do something else on the side. Something to pay the bills as well.
I don't know if I see myself as an actress for the rest of my life.
I'm never anywhere for more than three weeks.
My references, my musical tastes, everything that I like, in fact, comes from the '70s.
I think denim is something everyone feels comfortable in. It's kind of my uniform, really.
I feel like I'm extremely normal. I do have a bizarre face that's a bit out of proportion. I guess that's why some people see me as strange.
When it comes to photo shoots, there was a clear moment for me when I thought, 'I'm going to have to enjoy this because it's going to be a part of what I do.'
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 love fashion, and I've always wanted to do costume design, but I'm in jeans and T-shirts most of the time.
I knew fashion was going to be part of my job, so I thought I might as well have fun with it.
I'm always curious about anyone who has enough passion to go onstage and say, 'This is what I'm really passionate about.' It's always worth listening to.
I've been wearing jeans all my life. I remember my first denim as a kid because my mum used to buy me OshKosh overalls.
