I've never played a character that is just beautiful, but sometimes you can read scripts that sound so shallow, like women are objects. I've never done something like that, though.
A film can be big or small - I have to just fall in love with it. To connect with the character, the script, and the director. Sometimes they say to you, 'You should do that for your career; it's a big thing, people will go and see it,' but I wouldn't be able to, because my heart wouldn't be in it. I would drive people quite mad.
I like characters who have strong facades and then have secrets. They have cracks.
I would love to play an unexpected character. Really raw and simple and not a cliche - something rugged. People like to put actors in boxes.
When people say 'You're so beautiful' it makes me want to kill myself! As an actress you want to be seen for what you do, for the characters you can play, otherwise I'd be a model
For me, acting is like a therapy. I can express myself fully when I am acting and have blood in my veins. Even when I’m not working, I’m always living in my own world, imagining characters.
I give everything to my work, and I like complex roles, characters that aren't obvious. I've been very lucky so far, and I'm dreaming of working with directors like Jane Campion, Susanne Bier and the Dardennes. But the gods will decide.
It's quite hard to find a ballsy or complex character. So the roles I've taken are those. Lot's of people put me in the dark category.
I don't have a problem with someone having plastic surgery, but I think it's crazy for everyone to have the same body.
My father is a dentist. He has nothing to do with acting. He is proud of me. I come from a bourgeois family, like the family in The Dreamers.
I feel like I'm 1,000. I don't feel I'm young enough a lot of the time.
There are a lot of people who want to be famous, singers, actors, nowadays and, you know, it's like a roller-coaster. And when you are very sensitive-I'm very sensitive-you have to be very strong, you know, you have to just not pay attention to the people who hate you, you know?
They really fall in love. She has a big impact on his life and he will later become the Bond that we all know because of that one relationship.
I love the musicality of English. French sounds flat. In English, you can play with pitch.
