I dream about singing. I would love to sing and write.
After 10 years of French torture - psychological torture - it's great to do an American movie.
I give everything I have to give on the screen. I feel I don't owe the public anything else.
There are moments when you feel that the desire to work is fading, and the only way to bring it back is to get away from it, to put yourself in a state of frustration so you feel the need again.
You may think of me as an object of desire and I'm going to tell you that I can be in front of you naked and not be erotic.
I feel better in my body now than when I was 20. Why not?
I am a voyager - and the voyage cannot mean that I stay at home.
I stay in France. Better to be the queen of a village than a servant in a kingdom.
Very often with an American movie, the end is very happy and you just feel good when you go out. When you go to a French movie, it's kind of like, oh!, and you can't go out; you're stuck in your chair. It goes so deeply inside of the heart.
I wouldn't say I was a rebel as such, but I certainly wasn't right at school.
