I think what is interesting in life is all the cracks and all the flaws and all the moments that are not perfect.
I think denim is something everyone feels comfortable in. It's kind of my uniform, really.
I’m always so impressed with these actresses with their perfect make-up and hair and sometimes I’m very aware that I’m not like that. But I don’t think I can do things any other way. I would be wearing a disguise if I started to apply that stuff.
For me, it’s about not being too aware of what you look like because if you are, you’re trying too hard and I don’t think that actually makes you look good. I’ve known from very early on that I don’t look perfect.
There is no moment where you can rest and think: 'Wonderful, I have that job now. I'm going to spend five years here.' There's a constant judgment on your work that's very strongly related to what you are.
I think the people we meet in life and the loves of our lives are very, very important in what we become, like change us - when it's right, probably change us for the best.
I constantly make fashion mistakes but I think it's good to take risks.
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.
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 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 wanted to draw and do costumes. I was prepared to train for that, but I needed something to do on my time off from high school, so I called an agent without telling anyone and started working with her.
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.
